Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllsKBells" data-source="post: 1696435" data-attributes="member: 338121">[USER=468598]@gog1978[/USER] I'm not a parent, but I am a daughter, and a recent thread prompted me to ask my parents if they would still have had me knowing that I was going to get T1. The answer was yes, unequivocally yes. They said that it has caused worry, and that if there was anything they could do to take it away they would, but they would still have had me, because they love me, and diabetes doesn't change that. If your son does get diabetes one day - and there is no particular reason to think that he will - you will still love him, and your life will still be better for having him. As for burnout, I've been there. There is no easy fix. All I can say is be kind to yourself.</blockquote>
