I do, too, but the great thing really is that they don't feel sorry for themselves. They just want to live normal lives and not be considered different.

There was a speaker that asked the kids who had been told they couldn't go on a field trip, play a sport, etc. because they had diabetes. I was shocked at how many kids raised their hands. That's what kills me - not the shots/finger pricks, but the societal aspect.
