[QUOTE="lynde89, post: 362826, member: 61031"] Hi MrsD! Sorry to hear about your little boy, I know it must be hard for you right now but it will get better. It's all about routine to begin with. I was diagnosed when I was 4 & don't really remember not being diabetic, I think that is easier than getting it when a bit older as there is more to adjust. My younger brother was diagnosed at 21 & I know it was a big change for him, especially as he had just become a daddy. I do not blame my parents no, but I know that my mum sometimes blames herself, & that is hard for me to know. Before i was diagnosed i had had 2 heart operations (they got it wrong the 1st time) so that is part of it too I think. But she always used to tell me that only the people who were strong enough to cope with diabetes would get it & that helps me from time to time. Your son obviously has a supporting & loving mother behind him which is irreplaceable. Of course there may still be some down days (& I have had type 1 for 20 years this year) but they are what you learn from & a down day from time to time is normal for anyone! Do you know anyone or does anyone in your family have diabetes? So you can learn stuff from them 1st hand? Please do not blame yourself. (Sorry for the huge essay!) :) Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
