[QUOTE="Ray B, post: 2261252, member: 22340"] Hello there, I was diagnosed at 8 months old and am now 74. I still remember running away from the District Nurse at injection time when I was a toddler. However, as a boy I fell in love with playing football and as a boy I was discouraged from playing because of my diabetes. This made me become very competitive over the years and I have been involved in sports all my life. Is your son a boy who enjoys sport as I believe this has helped me through my life. Does he have a sporting hero, who he might want to emulate. It can be a lonely place, as someone has said, not only being a child with diabetes, but as you are experiencing a parent. I would try to stay and positive as you can and allow your son to believe there is nothing in life which he can’t achieve. As I say I have had Type 1 74 years and still teach pilates as a little business. Hope this helps Ray Burrows . [/QUOTE]
