April 27th 2013. The day my boy got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
A day that completely changed his life, forever!
I was a bit of a fool before my son got diagnosed. I didnt realise just how intense diabetes actually is.
It's been nearly two months now, and I still can't believe it's happened to him.
He's finding things so hard. Because he's only 3 years old he can't properly tell me or describe to me exactly what he's feeling. I'm constantly getting asked 'when will the injections stop mommy' & my heart breaks every time I inject him.
I'm a single mom, I don't get (or expect) help from anyone else but with each passing day in finding it harder and harder to come to terms with.
He puts up such a fight and comes up with some amazing excuses to try and get out of having his injections. He screams at me, begging me, not to do it anymore. But the more he gets stressed out, the more harm he does to himself.
Help & advise on how to take the dark side of diabetes away would be very much appreciated.
