[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 680333, member: 44643"] Hi, so sorry to hear of your emotional roller coaster. It's like someone has hit you with a a blunt instrument and each time you try to get up, down you go again and again. It's can be a huge shock,with confusion, frustration,heartache and some feel as though it's like a bereavement. Honestly, children cope very well in the end, they're tough little people and in time it wont feel so traumatic. I felt very similar to you when my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter was diagnosed :( There are parents on here who have gone through similar feelings and the forum offers lots of support and helpful advice :) Don't beat yourself up, as a family you can get through it and when you see how well your son will get on with it. remember he's the same great kid and when you see what he can achieve, you will both be chuffed to bits. Type 1 is manageable and honestly there is light at the end of the tunnel:) just give it time. Take care of your self, good luck and I wish you and your son all the best. RRB x [/QUOTE]
