[QUOTE="leggott, post: 135125, member: 20065"] Hi, Sorry to hear about Lottie. Right now life must be very difficult for you and it will take you time to accept the diagnosis, understand it and treat the condition. You are on a steep learning curve right now, but overtime things will get easier and having a diabetic child will become a way of life. There are many parents on this forum who are always here to offer support, advice and a shoulder to cry on. I remember when 2 of my children were diagnosed within a day of each other. My husband also has diabetes so we knew alot about the condition and how to treat it, but nothing prepared us for the way we would feel about hearing the news about 2 of our beautiful children. It did take us time and many sleepless nights, but you do come out of it the other end and life does get back to normal, just a different kind. There is so much research being done at the moment and I'm sure that in the next 5 - 10 years there will be a better and easier way of managing this condition. I know that this doesn't help right now, but it is something to be positive about and give you hope for the future. Big hugs.. Leggott. [/QUOTE]
