hi
fairly new to this forum...i think it is FABULOUS and am addicted to reading everyone's experiences of this condition. i've been t1 since 2000, and know hardly anyone with it, i lived in swindon at time of diagnoses and my DSN was fab, she set up a support group & we would meet for a chat & a drink every once in a while and it was great to talk about diabetic 'stuff'. there is nothing like that where i live now (weston-super-mare), feels quite lonely not being able to connect.
anyway, wanted to say hi & ask anyone with t1 who has kids, how often does your diabetes take a back seat coz life's so bloomin hectic? i have a 9 yr old boy & 2 yr old girl...both times my pregnancy control was amazing (both pregnancies gained 5 stone aswell but that's another story...!) but then life resumes with more hecticness than before and after a year of adjustment & close monitoring to get back to 'normal'( :lol: ) i have noticed my diabetes has once again lapsed into the backseat.
how does it affect your life, mums? what are your experiences of t1 with a busy family life?
