[QUOTE="mammy 24/7, post: 114798, member: 24270"] Hi, I remember that feeling when they tell you that your child is diabetic and it is horrible. We have a two year old who was diagnosed 2 weeks after her first birthday and was really ill needing high dependancy care in a hospital 6 hours away. I thought our lives as we knew them would be a nightmare and was overwhelmed. Today I can sit here and honestly say that it's okay. It was a steep learning curve as we are not diabetic and nor is our son. I'd be lying if I said there weren't times I shed tears at what I perceived as our loss of a "normal" child but now it's just who she is. Please talk to other people about how you are coping as it is important that you don't try to be super mammy and beat yourself up over the what ifs and believe me life will be normal again. Take care. [/QUOTE]
