| I don't think 6 years old is necessarily old enough to take complete care of one's diabetes, but your husband has a point that the time it takes for her to tell someone and make her way to the nurse's office is time that is taken away from being treated. I was diagnosed at 11 and there were times when I was with my family and told them that my BG was low (if we were waiting to eat a big meal together for instance) and there were some times they didn't take me seriously until they could see my hands shaking and I started to sweat. This is not to say that the adults at your child's school won't be accommodating, but this is something that she will have to deal with, all day, everyday for the rest of her life (as you know) so the sooner she can learn to take control the better. |
