[QUOTE="flojos mum, post: 85079, member: 13017"] Hi emma, sounds like you are all coping really well, good to hear your son is carrying on with what he enjoys as the one thing I have had to make sure Chloe knows is that having diabetes just means a bit of forward thinking and planning then life goes on as normal. She was diagnosed october 2008 which i just scarly worked out to be 9 months ago( time flys when your having fun). It can get very scary like with Chloe not knowing when she is a hypo until she is about 2.0 or less and going off to high school in september but we should be very proud of how accepting our children are to change and teach them to look on the positive side to everything. One positive for Chloe is that her confidence has grown as she has the attitude that if I can handle Diabetes I can handle anything. There are plenty of parents on this forum who have always known exactly what to write when I need a boost, as well as whose people who have diabetes who can set me straight on how it feels and best of all the great information you learn from here. LAst time we when to clinic I was telling the consultant about the hypos Chloe had been having and what I thought were the reasons behind them his reply was " Chloe and yourself are doing a great job but at the end of the day diabetes is all guess work" Great help but he was right to a certain degree we all have to gather information and find what works for our children doesnt mean we can't work to figure it out together or just give each other a vitural boost when needed. Do you have a local support group you could join aswell? Charlie [/QUOTE]
