Re: New
Hi Tracey, another Tracy here who is also a worrier. My 9 year was diagnosed 4 weeks ago and just typing those words still brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. I truly cannot believe that as I am replying my boy is running around, out of sight around a pool with his cousins, having great fun (while mum of course has heart in mouth while he does it!) It does get easier and you learn to cope with diabetes, just 4 weeks ago my world ended, temporarily, but here we are doing normal stuff!! I've found talking to people who have been through this the most useful advise, especially through this forum. It's still a roller coaster, I wonder will it always be?! Hypos are part if every day life and Im coping better than I thought I would! The children as you said are the real inspiration, but need us diabetes mums to be strong for them!! I'm already used to heading our wherever we go with a bag full of the necessary supplies!!
Good luck and here if you ever need advise ( not that I feel at this stage qualified, still very much a new by myself!!!) or just a sounding board!!!
