[QUOTE="Kazlow, post: 1000668, member: 232981"] Thank you for the warm welcomes and trying to help me with the app, think I'll stick with using the full site as it seems easier.....I think!!! Thank you noblehead and azure for your posts. Yes definitely find life hard but it is what it is and I just gotta get on with it. Feeling sorry for myself won't get me anywhere. I do worry about my type 1 diabetic son though. He is going the same way as I did. He was diagnosed at 8 and ten years on he still refuses to do blood test or lies about doing them and he doesn't take his insulin when away from home or even at home to tell the truth. He has been neglecting his insulin to lose weight and is now stick thin. At home we make him do his insulin in front of us but he's even managed to fake that. He knows I'm dying from diabetes but doesn't seem to care if he goes the same way. Have taken him to three psychologists and one counsellor but no results. What else can I do. He runs at HI all day everyday. Been in DKA more times than I can remember and ended up in intensive care everything. Last time they had problems getting his kidneys to function properly. Finally got correct levels but took a week. I'm not going to be around to look after him later on if he gets what I have. His step dad, my husband, will have to look after him but is it fair for him to nurse me till death then do the same again for my son. It's heart breaking really. I'm going to look for some threads about difficult diabetic children, if you have some, and try to find some advice. Gee what's a gal gotta do to catch a break Hope everybody here is well and look forward to chatting to you. [/QUOTE]
