My daughter found out at the same age all will be fine! It's not an easy thing to start with but trust me it will become second nature in a few weeks.

I am sorry to hear about that buddy. I am not sure how old your child is, not that it matters really. I was eight years old, was losing weight like no other, would wake up in the floor at night in horrible pain due to leg cramps, and would come home from school and drink no joke; a gallon of water in a few minutes and was filling the jug back up. Finally one day I was at church, the preacher was giving it a go around the alter (I am Missionary Baptist by the way heh heh), and I had to go to the toilet. I ran downstairs, to this day I have not idea why, but when i did my business, I had passed much blood. I knew then that I had Cancer... Why you ask, well, my uncle had just died from a battle with Cancer and I had seen at times the trouble he went through. As an eight year old you do not have much to relate Life with so automatically I knew in my heart what was wrong, or so I assumed I knew. I made up my mind that I would tell not a soul about this, I had seen what my uncle Ronnie went through and I said to myself; I said "self, just die and not worry about the fear!" Well, needless to say after about two more weeks of torture my parents had me at Dr. Davis in Morristown, and of course he told me I had Juvenile Diabetes.

What to say here??? I have a bad luck thought on me when I think of this, no sadness is needed. I am 46 years old now. As most have stated it is wise to be familiar with an Endocrinologist, find one that listens and DOES understand this: people say from time to time are you a "controlled diabetic", I say "their is no such thing. It is a true day to day experience." You will have good days and bad days. Just do your best to motivate the child once it is old enough to understand and to keep a check on their blood sugar levels. I took injections for many years and have been on an insulin pump for more than a decade now. Of all the therapy the pump works the best, but depending on the childs age it would be wise for them to be of age before going to the pump.

I get a little upset when someone finds out that I have diabetes and they say "so do I, but the doc says if I eat right I can control it." I laugh and say "you must have type 2 diabetes." I recall seeing a commercial a few years back that I found offensive, it stated that if you exercise and eat right you can eliminate diabetes. Later I found out they meant Type 2, so now I call Type 2 Diabetes "Pancreatic Laziotosis." Juvenile Diabetes is an inherited trait, usually it will skip a generation. I also get conspiratoral when it comes to this disease and I could type for an hour debating this so I will stop here.

I will pray for your child, and hope they do well. Your eating habits may change a bit, Carbs is a diabetics enemy, they will learn that they can eat whatever they like, but only in moderation. I met a man a few months back, came over to watch the Bama-Tn game with me (I am in Alabama now), and he told me he had his pancreas replaced and no longer has Diabetes, I would investigate that if I were you, but be patient with it, that also is a part of my "conspiracy" thoughts, all about money of course, meaning they do not want to cure it. Holler at me if I can be any help.
