[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2299821, member: 68789"] I already had T1 when I had children so mine knew it was part of me from the very first. Like yours @Lotiusprime, they learned to get the hypo treatments and my younger one learned early to tell when I was becoming hypo: she says my eyes change and my mouth gives it away. The only time I was really worried was back in the 80s, before any of the warning tech and more subtle insulins we have now. I used to get bad hypos at night which gave me the odd perception-changed nightmare. Our younger daughter used to lock her bedroom door. They’ve both become decent adults and younger daughter invited me to room share with her when she was attending conferences in nice European towns - I explored Valencia and Florence while she was deep in the interstices of eco engineering and design. She also took me to Jersey for my 70th. Like [USER=527474]@JenniferM55[/USER] says, there’s no long-term benefit to wrapping children in cotton wool. [/QUOTE]
