My diabetic son, my inspiration

I didn’t know what type 1 diabetes was nor did I know what BG and insulin were.  What I knew was when your child gets sick, you give them medicine and rest and they get better.  This time, I could not make the condition go away; it was there to stay no matter what.

I remember when he was hospitalised at Gaborone Private Hospital for seven days.  He was with his dad as I had to be with our younger one-year-old son, he kept on asking us what diabetes was.
