Is it possible that she doesn't want her kid to talk to other kids with diabetes and realize that they have more autonomy over their disease care than she does? After all, it would be mighty inconvenient if the kid started bucking the system the mom ...
CPMs have become popular in certain parts of Florida because the laws are not friendly for v-bac patients. You can't v-bac in a birth center - you need an OB and a hospital. However, a good portion of providers in some areas won't agree to v-bac so.....
