um..the problem is she is six!!! She does use her monitor herself at home, and I do inform her of what her numbers mean every time. I have every intention of her caring for herself and learning as soon as her knowledge permits. The problem is that she can hardly count to 100, much less understand the "timing" of her insulin. There is a big difference being say, 160 feeling like you are dropping fast and being 100 and level. I just think there are too many things to consider and only having 2 months of knowledge with this, it is alot to hand over to a six year old. She is very in tune to dropping fast which to me, is the first step, learning how you feel and what it means. She is NOT a mature child for the age of six. You would think her dad would realize that.
