My 6yr old daughter was recently diagnosed T1D, and something happened that I cannot fathom how to respond to. Today she said, "I don't like myself because I have diabetes". I don't know how to handle this. I hugged her and tried to keep a happy face but I was a million pieces inside.
The other day she said "when this diabetes is cured can I stop taking this injection" - She does not quite comprehend that this is a lifelong thing.
I am really not sure how to handle this. Any advice would help :-(.
