[QUOTE="chocoholic, post: 77756, member: 2964"] If you feel the moment is right at the weekend, then tell your mum. If you feel you really can't just yet, there is an alternative.How are you at writing letters? Because of the distance between you and your mum, I think, in your shoes, I'd avoid the expected lecture (you might be wrong) and sit and write a letter to your mum. Tell her of your diagnosis and say you are still coming to terms with things yourself and that you hope when you meet up again or phone,she'll offer you her support. I expect your Mum is just concerned for you and sometimes a mum's concern can come out in a funny way. I expect she'll be really upset to think of you too now having diabetes and even if she does have a bit of a rant and says 'I told you so', that'll pass and I expect genuine care and concern will take over. Us Mum's just want our offspring to be happy and healthy and when that is threatened we don't always get our reactions right. Whatever you do, don't hide your diagnosis from your Mum. She needs to know, so that she can start to help you in both support and dietary ways. Good luck. Choccie. [/QUOTE]
