"Is she under control yet"
Diabetes is hard. I'm asked often if her numbers are "under control" yet. In one word, no. You can do everything the same every day. Wake at the same time, eat the same foods, take the same amount of insulin, and have different results every single day. And honestly, who lives like that? Throw in fluctuating sleep schedules, activities, food intake, growth/puberty, and hitting that magical perfect blood sugar level become nearly impossible. But once in a while the planets align and you feel like shouting from the rooftop, "I finally nailed it. I know what I'm doing". And then it all goes berserk again. So you continue to check, bolus, eat, repeat forever and ever....
Until there's a cure.
