Hi I am Type1. I have had it for 13 years (since I was 11)
and I hate these kinds of videos.
Your daughter will have a very long and healthy life, there is nothing she cant do (run a marathon, have children etc).
This kind of self pitying helps no one. The shots dont hurt and with pumps life is better then ever!
Its really not healthy to focus on the negative like this!! Diabetes is not a “monster” is just a condition that you have to get on with! end of!
i think u r making diabetes harder on ur child dont tell her a monster gave er diabetes or dont tell her that someday there will be a cure for diabetes dont tell er she has a illness r she is different tell er she is lucky tell her that she will live longer than her friends n she will b healthier dont hold her back and never say negative things and words like monster ur not supporting her when u do this tell her. i talked to a diabetic today n he said he would not change the way e is 4 anything
@dietcoker11 You are correct shots in general are cake so to speak. This is the parents way of coping. The child is probably handling it better than them. You are wrong about one thing. She can never be an airline pilot. Type 1′s are not allowed to fly commercial aircraft. Or so I was told when first diagnosed.
