[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1486699, member: 318202"] As I was diagnosed at a much younger age I probably avoided the anxiety that your son is experiencing. But one suggestion I can make. Are there Diabetes Camps for Children where you live? When I was 9 and 10 my parents registered me for a 2 week camp stay during the summer. I got to meet a lot of other kids with diabetes that were my own age. They had a health team on staff and it was just like a regular camp except all the kids had diabetes. Looking back on it now - my parents got a break from me and I got an education in between doing all those typical camp activities that everyone does. Hopefully that option is available to you.
