[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2299677, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=529364]@Lottiusprime[/USER] I am mum to one child and was diagnosed with gestational whilst carrying her which went after birth and came back as a type 1 diagnosis when she was 3 so she's known me only as a t1 diabetic, I have had numerous hypos in supermarkets with her, oddly enough supermarkets are dangerous places for me as brain is busy trying to process information and physical exercise, anyway despite suffering hypos I have always managed to treat myself, however have had to sit down or just stop to treat, she's has been amazing, so patient and helpful, it's not left her scarred or overly concerned though, kids are adaptable unlike us who can be sensitive to their needs and concerned our condition impacts on their welfare, I really believe she will grow up to be tolerant of people and their needs, I have worried about the long term impact, but we are open and discuss the impact of my condition on her, it's pretty much accepted as the norm. Although I had a really bad hypo at Harry Potter world on her birthday, completely misjudged bolus calculation on butter beer and she will never forget that, but despite the fact she won't forget it, it's still not affected her, she's resilient and moved on, we should give them a lot more credit for their ability to cope better than us with this.
