What do you do when your son says....

I don't want diabetes anymore. Luke is getting older. He knows this isn't going away. He wants to be a normal child. I see the way he looks at kids when they dive into a bag of cookies or eat pizza, cake and ice cream at a party. Can Luke have these things? Absolutely! But first he has to check his blood, we count the carbs, then give him insulin...then he can finally enjoy. And we then hope that we calculate correctly and he doesn't end up with high blood sugar in the hours to come. It kills me when we are doing all of this and he is staring at other kids rip open their treats and dig in. I see his leg tapping like "come on mom, hurry up" followed by "can I eat now, can I eat now?!" its not so much that this kills me that he can't have these treats, because he can. It kills me that it is acceptable to let our children eat garbage like its the last supper. Our society has created this mess. Yes, my son has a disease and it has opened my eyes to a lot of things in life. I am so thankful it isn't something worse.  But, regardless of his disease, I would not let my kids have junk food on a regular basis. It makes me very sad when Luke tells me that he doesn't want diabetes anymore, or that he doesn't want to wear a pump or change his site or wear a sensor. It breaks my heart! I don't know what to say to him, except someday we hope for a cure. What makes me even more sad and bitter is that he didn't ask for this, we did not do this to him. When I see people with type 2 diabetes who are overweight, don't exercise and shovel garbage into their mouths on a daily basis, I cringe. Because of these people who are doing this to themselves, I get asked stupid questions like, "did he have a lot of sugar when he was young?" Or "well he isn't fat, how could he have diabetes?" Another good one is "maybe he should exercise more, did you sign him up for soccer?" I'm at the point now when people ask me this I don't have the energy to explain, I just get angry. These people with type 2 diabetes, they did this to themselves. They had a choice and still have a choice. At 3 years old, my son did not have that choice. He was given a lifelong disease. I'm looking for a way to not feel so bitter towards those people who do it to themselves. I'm looking for a way to go to a restaurant and see a family of overweight individuals gorging themselves and not think "bet they don't have diabetes." It just isn't fair.
