[QUOTE="Theunicornlady, post: 121459, member: 25139"] I have a T1 11year old girl. She had a visit from our nurse the other day, and she laughed when the nurse was talking to her about how serious it was that her diabetes was spiralling out of control. The problem is, I know its how she copes - she is nervous and she just wants to laugh to relieve the tension of the moment. The nurse got more and more wound up and eventually stormed out of the house saying my daughter would go to the bottom of the care pile if she wasn't careful. I have been begging for emotional support for her for months, because the little darling won't talk to anyone about her condition. There are 7 T1s including her, at her school and she won't speak to any of them. I work at the school and I've talked to a few of them and they know I've tried to make life easier for them - getting hypo posters put up, ensuring medical is available etc, because their parents were not aware it wasn't in place. The other T1s have tried to engage my daughter in conversation, but she's not having any of it. What do I do? How do you all cope? Any advice from any other T1 11 year olds? She was diagnosed nearly 2 years ago, days after her 10th birthday. She was severely DKA at diagnosis and had an NDE. I'm glad she's alive, but I swear, if she tells me one more time she wishes she'd died I'll scream!!!!! [/QUOTE]
