[QUOTE="Bellytwojumpers, post: 376456, member: 68544"] Hi Lucy, I hope your boyfriend is doing ok and I just wanted to say how lucky he is to have you supporting him in this way. I don't think I can add anything more than what the other posters have said, but having read this forum for a long time your post compelled me to join and post a reply. My son is 23 and has been a diabetic since the age of 11. Your post made me think back to those early days (well I do often anyway!) and how hard it was. I can easily become tearful and can't look at the photos of him at that time - he was so thin and looked so ill - we had no idea it was diabetes and was sent to the hospital straight away - with numbers similar to your boyfriends. Cutting a long story short he is now a strapping 6ft 23 year old who towers over his dad and me. We travel the country watching him play football, and his dad and I are so proud of him. I suppose I am just trying to say that although it seems all doom and gloom to your boyfriend at the moment - things will improve!People will say to us - how is your son, is he stable and things like that. Well maybe one day his readings are great but tomorrow is another day! I don't think anyone can have perfect nos. all of the time - it can be a roller coaster at times. Just please pass on my best wishes to your boyfriend and also to yourself. Linda x [/QUOTE]
