Was talking to a niece on the weekend who is single, two children, youngest about 5 yrs old and diabetes diagnosed within months of birth.
We were discussing paternalistic doctors and she told me of the diabetic physician who made her feel like a bad mum because her son' s HBA1C was up a bit. He used the example of some other child whose mother kept her son's perfect, he was of a similar age and situation.
Nic finally met this perfect mum and child and instantly felt better. Apparently he has the social skills of a two year old and is was by suppressing normal children's activity that the mother controlled the HBA1C. Nic's son is a very normal child socially despite the diabetes and several other health problems. Her latest physician is quite happy with the levels by the way. He believes in the balance.
Cheers
