[QUOTE="sjb2610, post: 551497, member: 75126"] I've just watched that blog and am sitting here 22 years on from diagnosis feeling really horrified. I was diagnosed at the age of 11 (a month after my birthday) and I still remember the ward sister at Sick Kids in Edinburgh telling my mum to pull herself together - I wasn't disabled, I had a manageable lifelong condition......a philosophy I still stand by now I am currently expecting my first child and if the odds turn in that child's favour and they are diabetic - they will be given the same advice. I can guarantee that, unless there is a valid medical reason, I won't be doing blood tests on a sleeping child throughout the night. It scares me that this is what diabetes has become.. [/QUOTE]
