Good morning. I am a parent to an 18 month old who was newly diagnosed at the end of May. So we are definitely still in the "learning" phase. Well I'm in a desparate need for some help. I work out of the home and I am gone from 6:00 am to 5:30 pm. I am a homebody and can't wait to see both my daughters and spend some quality time. When I'm not at work, I'm with my girls. Lately, though, when I get home the 18 month old starts scream crying when she sees me and then proceeds to hit, bite, kick and scratch at me. It really hurts not only physically but mentally. Sometimes I have to "hold" her down or bar her from me with her pillow pet and it takes about an hourfor her to finally become distracted enough to stop. Then she gives me plenty of hugs and kisses. The first thing I do is check her sugar and normally it's in the 185 range (which we're shooting for anything with a 1 in front of it (100 - 199)) We do have some teething issues at this age which you usually can tell b/c she smacks at her cheeks.
But is this normal? What is she feeling (any pain, pins and needles)? And any suggestions. Why is it directed towards me?
Please, any insight would be awesome.
