See, there you go being lovely livvie again!

I think it's a frat idea to have a DDay. God knows you kids have so much to put up with being diabetic so you may as well take any perks you can :) My daughter gets to choose a treat/day out each time she fills up a sharps bin.

My 20 years is on the 5th October, I was diagnosed age 4 in '93.
JustLaura, the sharps bin & treat thing is a great idea! :)

Hi Lovelylivpet

Mine is August 1989, (Can't remember the date in August though, but in the middle of the month). August comes and goes and I just enjoy the end of the summer :)

Best wishes RRB

26 January 1986. I was 12 going on 13. I don't celebrate it or spit on it just mentally acknowledge it but maybe next year I will mark the day - still here and still healthy is definitely something I am grateful for

Hello
A message from a worried Mammy,
My little boy is 3 in June and just been diagnosed. I'm so scared and worried, just looking for reassurance that it does get better and that you don't blame your parents? Thank you x x

Hi MrsD!

Sorry to hear about your little boy, I know it must be hard for you right now but it will get better. It's all about routine to begin with.

I was diagnosed when I was 4 & don't really remember not being diabetic, I think that is easier than getting it when a bit older as there is more to adjust. My younger brother was diagnosed at 21 & I know it was a big change for him, especially as he had just become a daddy.

I do not blame my parents no, but I know that my mum sometimes blames herself, & that is hard for me to know. Before i was diagnosed i had had 2 heart operations (they got it wrong the 1st time) so that is part of it too I think. But she always used to tell me that only the people who were strong enough to cope with diabetes would get it & that helps me from time to time. Your son obviously has a supporting & loving mother behind him which is irreplaceable.

Of course there may still be some down days (& I have had type 1 for 20 years this year) but they are what you learn from & a down day from time to time is normal for anyone!

Do you know anyone or does anyone in your family have diabetes? So you can learn stuff from them 1st hand?

Please do not blame yourself. (Sorry for the huge essay!) :)
