[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2384467, member: 53162"] Sorry to hear about your daughter, however what you're feeling as her dad is completely normal. It is a great shock and emotions felt by parents are similar to the grieving process, so emotions like denial, blame, anger, sadness are part of this. Children are more resilient than us at adapting to change and dealing with this, what will help you greatly is learning more about the condition so being well equipped to cope with all the tools to manage it. Her aim is to have a normal life and as a person who has had type 1 for almost 10 years now, I can tell you that it was hard to deal with, but it does become second nature and life will get easier, it hasn't stopped me doing anything and if anything I now challenge myself more. Have a read of this thread which I feel all newly diagnosed people and relatives should read with type 1: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/5-things-any-newly-diagnosed-type-1-should-know.175425/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
