[QUOTE="Miso89, post: 1665789, member: 467373"] Hey ExtremelyWorried, I think first and foremost you must take responsibility for what has happend in terms of your health. I got t1 diabetes at the age of 15 and it wasn't until now that I took into account my eating habits, stress levels, etc over a long period of time that gave me the result of my t1 health condition. Im 28 years old now and have finally taken my head out of my bum. Life was never meant to be easy, if it was how could you possibly enjoy it? This obstacle that many of us share was presented to use because we CAN over come it. You are a remarkable human being and the mother of 2 children, you should take great pride in that. There is a way to beat t1 and many people are trying including myself. You must take responsibility of your life and not begrudge it. You can do it, your children and all of us are rooting for you. You must never give up! Think of the tears of joy you will experience once you've overcome this. Other people are burdened with mundane things and use it to justify things and their worth.
