[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2224735, member: 352098"] I was diagnosed just after my tenth birthday. It strikes me that something must have happened to make him suddenly come out with this remark. Perhaps he has had an argument with a friend, who turned nasty or somebody has talked about a birthday cake and repeated an adult's words saying that of course your son wouldn't be able to have any. Tell him that nobody likes diabetes and we all get fed up about it at times, but you are proud of him and the way he has got on with things. There's nothing wrong with admitting the truth. If anything else in your life goes wrong, that's when dealing with type 1 becomes a heavier burden. If you can find out if anything else has been upsetting him, you might be able to offer him some advice or 'fix' that particular problem for him. None of us can 'fix' diabetes, but we can still feel love and benefit from help others offer. He needs to know that you are always on his side, whatever is happening. [/QUOTE]
