We kept waiting for the tantrums to begin, expecting her stubborn nature to shine through picturing having to wrestle her at insulin time, deal with the tears when she couldn't face another needle. None of this happened, ( we are aware that this doesn't mean she wont ever rebel) but my point is, it's us parents that feel like our world has been turned upside-down, we cry, question 'why our child?' and generally scream at the world while they take it all in their tiny little stride!My little girl's strength and courage is a constant source of inspiration, she will not let this slow her down let alone beat her, I'd never of coped during those 1st months without her!!!They do say though"Parents of diabetics have the toughest most resilient kids around"There is light at the end of the tunnel xx   </blockquote>
