It appears to me at least and to the other children, that too often the poor behavior and disregard is blamed upon the diabetes, rather than upon the behavior problem. I feel very badly because I can see that she does require special medical attention, but I don’t think it requires always making an excuse for misbehavior, snappy remarks or just not paying any attention.
