[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 218891, member: 13077"] You might get lots of replies from parents in this part of the forum. As a mum, I can say that the health and wellbeing of my child outweighs any feelings I might have about being angry/upset at diabetes and I'm sure those that love you would feel the same way. When my son was first diagnosed it was very upsetting and challenging. Parents often express feeling guilty for their child having diabetes. We also all feel a lot of grief for the life before diabetes and the difficulties that can be faced managing a relentless condition. I think there are always times when diabetes can produce many emotions but the big picture is to have good control and keep doing all the things you did before and take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way. Everything takes a bit more planning and sometimes a bit extra time but the reward is a long and healthy life that you can be proud to have achieved. Having a good attitude will make all the difference to how well you cope every day. You have diabetes, You don't have to like it but you do have to do all the right things that comes with it. Keep smiling :) [/QUOTE]
