Well thank you so much Lisa-Marie, please assure your family that
guilt should not come into it. There is no history of diabetes in our
family but apparently only a small percentage is heredity.
Something like 2 to 5% I think. I'd like to hear about the insulin pump
if I may. Jessica valiantly gives herself two injections a day into her
stomach and it does little for her confidence. I despair for people who
have to give 5 or six! I neglected to mention that Jess gained weight
in her first year along the top limit. She was a darling baby and is a
darling teenager.
Thanks and all the best. Reg.
