[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 469278, member: 12725"] Hi TiredMommy. As a parent of a difficult child with Type 1 diabetes, I understand your fear. Unfortunately, in my case, my difficult child deliberately puts her life in jeopardy; it is her weird covert aggressive way of giving our family "the bird". I'm exhausted from keeping her alive. I check her blood sugar at 3:00 am every morning, because I fear I will find her dead in bed. :-/ When she was your daughter's age, I let everyone know...her teachers, school bus drivers, table mates in class, friends, friends parents, etc. know the signs when something is wrong and what to do. Someone online, I'm sure, has created educational handouts for allergic reactions and epi pens. Print them out and then distribute them. I would stock pile epi pens and Benedryl to distribute, too. I understand your worry. I hope as she grows older she will take on more of the responsibility of monitoring her environment and what she ingests, so your worry may ease. But you are a mother who loves her daughter, and we always worry. :) [/QUOTE]
