Type 1 – Mom’s Song

Get up now, get up now, you look pale to me. Check it now, check it now, we will have to see. Are you high are you low, do you have to eat? Check it now, do you have to pee?

Get your clothes, are you wearing that? Wash your face brush your teeth where’s your homework at? Pack your lunch so you don’t have to eat school crap. Don’t roll your eyes at me like that.

Quick eat so we will have the time to calculate the carbs. Take your bolus so that you will not go high and have to check ketones. Remember that the endo is expecting you today at 3:00. We will get the good mommy test grade, they like to call your A1C.

Don’t panic I’m sure that your log book is here somewhere. It just can’t grow legs and jump up and disappear. Have you changed your needle since last week, I swear to your dad I will have to speak. Don’t forget to check before you eat? How many carbs were in that treat?

Where’s the work you missed at school today, Why not? What’s the problem? What did she say? I’ll laminate your 504 and nail that sucker to your teacher’s door.

Don’t test my patience. I’m sleep deprived, I have no life, can’t recall my last vacation. So I’ve closed our kitchen for the night. It’s restaurant food, no carb counts, hope I guess it right.

Grab your ball and skates it’s time to go so we might be on time for once. Get a juice and a snack so you don’t go low, exercise is good you know. Kick it hard, jump high, what an awesome catch. Strips and meter I will fetch. Check it quick so that you get right back knowing your numbers on track.

Each day is a blessing. I give thanks for you being mine
The challenges are many we will overcome in time.

Get your shower and your pump shirt on so we don’t have an incident. We can’t afford to repeat last year’s, “pump in the toilet accident”.

Brush your hair, brush your teeth get your p.j.s on. Take your blood sugar, now let’s see what’s wrong. Have a juice, take a seat, get a cold washcloth, get a… Hey!

Don’t you pass out on me. Stay still until your 103.
Have a root beer, twizzlers, cup cake, snow cone, Snickers, juice or milkshake.
So, if all your friends, ate a thousand carbs, you’d eat them too?

If I’ve said it once, I‘ve said it at least a million times before.
That we’ll get through all this
I’m proud of how you handle it

How are your supplies at school? Do you have strips, needles too?
What? We’re out of strips! Where is the Walgreens that’s open nights?
I’ll be right back, make sure your homework’s done and in your pack.

Get in bed, get a hug and a kiss goodnight. I’ll check you at midnight.
Don’t forget I love you.

And today will repeat again for sure, everyday until a cure.
You can help us find the cure
