[QUOTE="gaynor, post: 24835, member: 10879"] Hi sienna0505, I know exactly where you are coming from. My son was diagnosed at the end of March this year just two weeks before his 4th birthday. It is very difficult and you do think why my child. I hate the thought that my son has to have this condition for the rest of his life. Sometimes I think I have needed to have a good cry about it but unfortunately I can't let myself go as I worry I will never stop. I am going through exactly the same as you at the moment as my son is coming out of his honeymoon period after only 6 months. The last month his sugars have been all over the place and we have been struggling to get them under contol. He has just started school as well so I don't know wether that has had something to do with it. I have been so frustrated lately with it as we got him under great control after the first month or so and for about 4 months he was doing great. We now seem to have gained a little control back in the last couple of days and have started carb counting to fine tune his insulin dose better. As for the glasses issue that could just be a pure coincidence. I wouldn't think that the diabetes would have affected her eyes already. My eldest son who is 7 wears glasses and has done since he was 3. Its not a problem you will soon get used to it. I actually can't imagine my son without them, infact he looks strange when he takes them off. Better to get her eyes sorted now then them get any worse. If you read my thread called Parents with type 1 child, you will see how despondent I was the other day about it all. It is really hard I know.
