Waiting

Waiting for her blood sugar to come down.

Waiting for her blood sugar to come up.

Waiting for the school to call with her numbers.

Waiting for her to be ready for the next shot and to count to 3 so we can give the shot.

Waiting for her to prick her own finger 10 times a day.

Waiting for the bruises to heal.

Waiting for science.

Waiting for her A1c result.

Waiting for good news.

Waiting for Lab results

Waiting for prescriptions to be filled.

Waiting for technology to improve.

Waiting for restrictions to be lifted.

Waiting for people to understand.

Waiting for her to get older.

Waiting for it to get easier.

Waiting for sleep.

Waiting for it to occur to someone that it makes no sense to renew a prescription for medication she will need forever.

Waiting.

Waiting for the next stomach ache or headache.

Waiting for a breakthrough.

Waiting for a miracle.

Waiting for non-diabetes-related thoughts.

Waiting for a cure.

Waiting.
