[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2383198, member: 352098"] I don't think it's surprising she's feeling angry. I was diagnosed aged 10 and felt intermittently angry for several years. If that's how she's feeling, it's probably why she's not interested in coming on this forum. 'Why read about all sorts of other people's problems when you've got enough of your own' summed up my attitude at the time. I understand that. The anger should gradually wear off, but remember it's not irrational. After 56 years, I still get angry occasionally. She is facing a changed life with problems most of her contemporaries will never face. I was also unwilling to explain hypos and type 1 at first. I think she just needs time. Having diabetes is one thing, but coping with everybody's concern and personal reactions can be an additional burden. It was for me. [/QUOTE]
