Evening all,
Writing as a daughter of a newly diagnosed T1.
My mum has had a really hard day today, she hasn't eaten a lot and has been feeling very un-well.
I think we thought we had gotten the hang of most of it but today really hit home that this is something she is going to have for the rest of her life.
I know it can be manged but its not about that, it's about waking up and not having to think about anything, not wrroying about hypos when out in public, not wanting people to worry about you, being embarrassed because you have needles in your possessions...
It's been a really long and awful day today and we've had a cry Because it really has hit hard that this is something un changeable, terminal and horrible.
I do hope I don't offend anyone as that is definitely not what I'm here to do.
I just think I need to have a bit of a rant!
I hate diabetes, it's turned my mum's life upside down and created excess stress daily.
I don't know how you guys came to terms and how long it took but it would be great to know it gets easier, because right now I feel like it's the end of the world.
