[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1898040, member: 32193"] You said something in a post the word normal, six letters but if you have all these problems nothing is normal. I got diabetes and do not know what normal is but i know what i diabetic is insulin, needles, bg checks, carb counting, watching what you eat and drink, other risks of diabetes and that just a few thing this was from the age of 3 years old. Your daughter is at a stage where i think they need more support, to me from the age of 14 till 28 there needs to be more done between theses ages so much happens in your life. Your body, social life and many other thing change, you go to the adult consultant at 18 now to me children need help before that just look at your own lives to see. I am 42 and did not dare have a drink till i was 17 but now it has become the norm at 14 to be drinking. Your daughter has diabetes and mental health problems and i have them to, i have thought about taking my own life and if it was not for my 2 children i would have done it. At the moment i have hit rock bottom i spend all day in bed, don not want to talk to anyone, have know interest in anything ans this is because a consultant changed my tablets. The new tablets laid me up in bed until i had to go to hospital, so i came off the tablets but then my mood was going downhill so 2 days ago i went back on one of the tablets and am feeling better. Your daughter is caught in a web and the more she gets out of it then something drags her back in, Diabetes is a cruel disease that can take so much of all the people who are caring for one as well as the person who has it but the help we need is not there as the NHS can not cope with the demand now and no new money we have to be thankful for sites like this.
