My daughter has been diabetic for 9 years now, we are really close and get along fine most days.

When she was young she had really bad low blood sugars in the night.  So years ago I started checking her every couple hours at night.  She has a pump and I am getting better I only check 2 or 3 times during the night now.

She is in high school and has always been very independent, but the time is getting closer that she will be off to college.  How do parents of diabetics let them go?
