[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2380872, member: 503751"] Hi both, hope things are settling a little? I was diagnosed in my early teens while I was DKA. I can only imagine what my parents went through. I know everyone is different, and I have had the classic 'why me' thoughts over the years, but I feel I handled the diagnosis better than my parents. Key things for me were to realise that there hadn't been a known prevention, neither me nor my parents could have prevented the diagnosis, it wasn't our fault. I also had no reason to stop it from letting me live my life how I wanted to live it. Yes, it was a steep learning curve at first, but I felt that learning more enabled me more freedom again more quickly. This site is great so do ask any questions you have! [/QUOTE]
