[QUOTE="Kylie_Baker, post: 261628, member: 38820"] Dear Diva, I can't imagine what it was like to grow up as a diabetic. All the changes that we all go through are difficult enough let alone that! I was diagnosed only last year in November. And to be honest, I think I am in a slight state of denial. Had I been given this news 18 years ago then I am sure that I would have reacted as you say you did. What claymic and Pneu say about your children is so very true. My husband and I have a very busy 16 month old boy both mean the world to me, I want the share my life with them for as long as possible. I'm scared that our son will develop T1 and the only way I've really got my head around it was to give myself a matter of fact talking to-to take this seriously. It's up to me to set him a good example should this happen or not. Equally, it is up to me to take care of myself so that I am the mother that I hope to be. I do think that if it wasn't for him, then perhaps-just maybe, I wouldn't be as determined as I am. bestest of luck Diva kylie x Your a Mumma to twins! You've got your hands full, you need to give yourself a big pat on the back. That is such an achievement (I've got twin brothers so know what it's like!). From the little experience I have, it does seem that there is no rest with being Diabetic, it's constant. Hard to concentrate on with little uns around. Hard to give 'IT' any attention. Hard to put yourself first. Hard hard hard!!! Is it worth speaking to your GP or DSN about this more directly? For what it is worth, they could put you in to contact with someone to help you through this. [/QUOTE]
