[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 533320, member: 101136"] I was diagnosed on my 8th birthday at the beginning of the school summer holiday. After coming out of hospital i went from the practice orange to my leg with a big glass syringe. Laying off the sweets, i peed in a chemistry set & comparing the result against a Dulux wall chart keeping track in a pint sized green history book. (orange was bad news.) What offends me about the "lament" of these "D moms" highlighted in the video is the "diabetic by proxy" & grieving of these women.. How are the dads fairing in all of this.. & more importantly the child that they apear so disappointed in...? It all appears to be about the mother.. As a child or if indeed an adult, i had seen my own mother documented like this? My self confidence would have been shattered regarding a condition i neither brought upon myself or entertained... I could understand it if the child had stolen a car..!. [/QUOTE]
