Hi, I am sorry to read of your son's diagnosis and your worries and concerns, it can be scary. My granddaughter was diagnosed at 2 1/2 years and in a critical condition on the HDU, mum and dad coped okay with it, but I was a wreck, constantly crying. She has just celebrated her 8th birthday and is enjoying life and doing everything that all the other children do.
It is hard to understand, accept and to cope with at first, but in time, things will get clearer and easier for all of you, diabetes will be just a small part of who he is and having diabetes shouldn't stop him from doing anything he wants to do. Kids are tough little cookies and the forum can offer support, help and a shoulder too.
Take care, good luck and all the best,
