[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 536172, member: 44643"] Hello I'm so sorry to hear of your little one being diagnosed. It can be so hard on parents coming to terms with their little one having this medical condition. My little granddaughter was 2 1/2 years old when she was diagnosed, it hit me like a ton of bricks and hit me hard, especially seeing her on the HDU fighting to live. But now she is 5 and from the start she just got on with it as did her parents, and she is doing so well and she is happy and has lots of friends at school who think she is 'very brave' but I found it much more difficult. Do you know what?, your friends may not understand a lot about Type 1 diabetes, and the huge impact it is having on you, but I'm sure they would understand what you are going through, how you cope, how you manage her condition, how it affects all the family. Don't be scared to talk about it to your friends, just having a chat about your worries and concerns with your friends would be a great help to you, that's what friends are for. It will get better in time and a little less daunting, but you can't help but worry about your child,just take little steps with each new day. Make sure you look after yourself too. Take care, with my very best wishes.. . [/QUOTE]
