I can honestly say...

I have never been so tired in my entire life.  36 weeks pregnant, a newly diagnosed diabetic child, a 4 year old that I feel like I have been neglecting. The stress has caught up. I could go to sleep right now and sleep for 24 hours, but I can't go to bed before 10 because I need my stinking snack for GD and I need to check DS's blood sugar again.

Ugh. That sucks. Can you just go to sleep and set an alarm? I remember when my little cousin. Was diagnosed with T1 he was 3 and almost died. My aunt had to check his sugar multiple times a night. She was a mess

[jensriot]

Oh Trizzie, I'm sorry. Hang in there. I can't imagine how exhausted you are.

It is almost worse for me to go to sleep and then get up.  DH told me to sleep in as late as I can tomorrow which will help.
And omg - your poor aunt.  Did they catch it late and that was why?

He just got super sick super fast. But now he is a pretty cool 20 yr old who is a pain in the ass in the usual 20 yr old ways

You don't know me, but I just want to give you a big hug. I hope things get easier for you soon!

[zbeesma86]

big hugs Trizzie! Thinking of you!

[mamaalysson]

Oh man, I'm sorry things are so rough right now. Hugs. I don't have any experience with the TI diabetes, but I had GD and I remember sobbing one night that I just wanted to go to bed at 8, but I had to eat a snack at 9:30 or my morning blood sugar would be messed up. It stinks. Thinking of you!

[rosesandpetals]

I'm sorry, that's really rough. Hope you get some good sleep tonight.

[minismama]

Hang in there. Thinking of you and sending energetic thoughts.

[jnksmom]

I'm so sorry Trizzie. Hugs to you. Hope you can sleep in tomorrow and get some good rest.

[trizzie]

Thanks everyone. If what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, I should be superwoman in a few months. I appreciate y'all.

[dizzycooks]

Hang in there! I'm sorry this is all happening at once though. Maybe it's better than feeling like a year of unsettled craziness??
