[QUOTE="bibipro, post: 325658, member: 51427"] HI, my daughter was diagnosed at age 13 (2 yrs ago) and just after starting her cycles. It sent her world and ours into a tailspin at first. We went through bouts of anger and bitterness that led to a determination to not allow a condition to take over our lives. We are all helping her be in control of the Diabetes instead of it controlling her. We have all become healthier as a result of her "condition". We eat better and exercise more. It took about 6 months to get used to our new routines but in the end, my little girl has matured and developed into a young woman in charge of her life and filled with more compassion for others who are also struggling with Diabetes or other ailments. It is very hard at first so cut yourself some slack to allow for transitioning into a new way of living. It's perfectly fine, expected, and even healthy to do so. I'm in Miami and went to a training that the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) sponsors. I forgot the name of the program but the website should give you info on it. It taught us that this is not a giant that can't be controlled. We can learn to be in charge of it. Its a difficult at first but the more you learn about the condition and your own body, the more you will be in charge. There is a lot of info on supplements, ex. Vit D3, and Chromium, and Cinnamon, that can help with the management of glucose levels. As soon as my daughter was diagnosed, I went on line and learned as much as I could. Hopefully a cure will happen soon, at least for type 1. God bless you! [/QUOTE]
