[QUOTE="Vikki2, post: 193017, member: 25049"] That youtube clip really made me laugh thanks!! But so true !!! Aah, anyway, yes I really feel for you. The comments people make are SO infuriating and upsetting. It's shocking that with this condition some people automatically blame you the parent. If you told someone your child had asthma they wouldn't automatically think, Oh it must be the parents fault. When I tell someone for the first time I really emphasise the word type 1. I may even ask them if they know the difference between type 1 and type 2. Or depending on the mood I'm in I just tell them that my daughter has 'pancreatic malfunction' - it's great - you actually get genuine sympathy! I know how it makes you feel when someone says something like that but try and keep calm and try & educate them! XX [/QUOTE]
