[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 232406, member: 33342"] I'm not sure that I agree with this. I don't have any diabetic children, but I do have two with very obvious disabilities (one with Downs Syndrome, one with only one hand). Our attitude is to be proud of yourself, and don't be limited by your condition. Neither of them have the opportunity to pretend to be anything else, but that doesn't matter. Like Oscar Pistorius says "I'm enabled by the things that I can do well, not disabled by my disabilities." I'm sure that your daughter is much more than just a diabetic, in the same way as my Eli is not just another "downs syndrome kid". She is what she is. Be proud of it all. [/QUOTE]
