This weekend, one of the diabetes twitters was upset with her diabetic daughter because the daughter left the house without enough test strips.<\/p>\n
I answered,"Been there, done that, 8 years diagnosed, 50 years old\u201d.<\/p>\n

So mom\u2019s don\u2019t be so hard on us. You make mistakes too. In fact, I recently found out my mother stopped testing (she\u2019s diabetic too \u2013 guess where I got it \u2013 though I really think mine came from my father\u2019s side).
