[QUOTE="masonbason63, post: 821023, member: 82468"] I've never really had this problem I was diagnosed at 12 yrs and my parents sought of done it all with the family plus I'd been an ill child growing up so it was taken in our stride. They also told the school and I was the only 1 of about 1200 which made it awkward for me, but this is what made me who I am today I just toughened up and got on with it through the high and lows, once I started dating girls I thought more about it and going to my first college was strange for it was up to me to educate people about it. I'm so proud of my type 1 and so are my kids they understand they might develop it at some stage or their kids might in the future but they've got me as a teacher or there might be a cure. Please don't tie yourself up in worrying about things as worrying dosn't change things you are what you are. Grab it by the horns and be loud and proud if when you have children you'll be a great teacher [emoji1][emoji2] [/QUOTE]
