- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
Big hugs. Things will get better. There are several parents and grandparents of children with type 1 diabetes here. You may find some helpful info in the subforum for parents:

Sorry to hear that, if it helps though there are quite a few people on here who were diagnosed at about the same age and are leading a "normal" healthy life now. Myself included and I'm 33 with a son if my own now. Not sure if it helps but I've always thought it was easier for me being diagnosed so early as I didn't know any different. Not nice for the people who have to do the caring though. Good luck with everything.
