[QUOTE="semarroy, post: 348681, member: 34286"] Over 2 years ago, we had to make a decision on how we would face our sons newly diagnosed type 1 and how we would educate him and help him to not only live with diabetes, but to accept it as part of him. To not let it become all of him or overwhelming, but to take it seriously and for him to be responsible for himself so he can avoid the immediate risks and long term problems. We've taken big overseas trips, and many adventures so that he knows he can still follow his dreams with no restrictions. We don't hide it, we talk about it and I hope this openness has allowed him to achieve so much in the past 2 years ... and to live a normal 11 year old boys life. Keep strong, it's going to be alright. xxxxxx [/QUOTE]
