RIP Robbie, we will miss you! I always looked forward to seeing Robbie's and Mrs Swan's posts, I just can't believe he's gone
Thanks Antje for making this thread, I have been thinking about him a lot and I think it's important to be able to talk about it with the others here. I knew his control wasn't that good but I never would have expected him to die of diabetes - he was newly diagnosed and he had been making an effort! If he could survive those terrible hypos he had then surely he could survive anything. I woke up and got on the forum and read that Robbie had died. The previous night was very scary for me - I only got a couple of hours sleep because I just could not get my blood sugar up no matter what. Then I saw Mrs Robbie's post, and I felt guilty I had somehow survived my bad night, but Robbie hadn't survived his. I know it's a really stupid thing to think but I guess people aren't always logical when things like this happen. It also made me think how easy it is for a T1 to die, even someone who works hard to control their diabetes.
Beverly, if you are reading this, I want to say I am very sorry to hear he has gone, and that I will follow your advice. I always have, and always will, give my diabetes my very best effort and I will never give up!
