[QUOTE="Angiejean, post: 662031, member: 135336"] Complications seen to be all you are told about. Every book you get given about diabetes has all the warnings of DKA and how you must keep the blood glucose low. I used to be very concerned about my daughters education but at this point I must agree with Hebe the priority at the moment is her health only. There is no point is pushing education when the are so many emotions going round her head at the moment and she needs to deal with these. I have learnt that I would rather have her happy at the end of the day when she goes to bed than stressing about her diabetes. When she gets upset I show her the photos of her having fun this year on holiday and compare them with the years when she was not diabetic and point out it is the same girl that is on those photos having fun we just have to be a little more careful now than before. It still breaks my heart everyday though when I think back to what it was like before. I don't know if that will ever get any easier. [/QUOTE]
