The longer you have this condition, the more likely you are to develop complications, therefore if he had to develop it then I would rather he got it as late as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993654657174601560.post-21752005110552824272010-12-06T09:35:47.381+00:002010-12-06T09:35:47.381+00:00I totally agree, I don't have a husband with t...I totally agree, I don't have a husband with type 1 but my son was 2 1/2 when diagnosed and much easier to deal with than my dad with type 2!!!Nikki noodlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993654657174601560.post-7787620299672911862010-12-02T22:25:19.203+00:002010-12-02T22:25:19.203+00:00This one was inspired by you Sarah, after this mor...This one was inspired by you Sarah, after this morning.

He is 17 now and a typical teenager with all the teenage traits which are hard enough to deal with at times without having diabetes, with extremely high blood sugars, to deal with. I don't want him to have it atall but, if it is in his life plan, then I do wish it had come along when he was much younger as I feel he would have dealt with it better than having to learn to cope with diabetes at the same time as teenage life.....Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155882048057934910noreply@blogger.com
