[QUOTE="krazeemom, post: 921318, member: 201333"] My son was 18months old when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It was a huge shock, but then we found out that both of my husbands Grandparents were diabetics also his cousin when 3yrs old was diagnosed with Type 1. My son is now 17 coming up for 18 and I have struggled all these years with no counselling for myself with the emotional turmoil that my son puts me through. He can be verbally agressive and has self harmed in the past. He did have couselling but she didnt help matters. She was a bit of a fruit cake which made matters worse for my son. I have been to breaking point several times where ive had to put myself in the car and just drive. Pull over and cry and destress before I head back home. My son in on the omnipod which has been the best one so far, but he keeps putting his pod in the same place too often and now he has lumps. He doesnt like putting it on his tummy as he doesnt have an ounce of fat on in. My worries at the minute is he says he has tested but hasnt really and doesnt give his insulin when he should especially after eating. Im at my wits end. Im border line diabetic but controlling with diet alone. I have lost 3 stone so far and want to lose 2 more. [/QUOTE]
