Hi, I have just stumbled across this forum and thought it would be nice to join as I am a little down and struggling to cope with things a bit at the moment and I guess it's nice to be able to share these worries with people in a similar situation.
My son was 10 yrs old a few days ago, and was diagnosed with T1 diabetes shortly after his 8th birthday. At first I seemed to accept this amazingly well, but lately, for some reason, my worries about this horrible disease seem to be increasing, especially after catching sight of an article on "dead in bed" syndrome!
I am now so fearful I am going to lose my precious boy in his sleep that it is having an impact on my life in a big way (although of course these fears are NEVER shared with my son!).
Anyway, I am hoping help and support from other parents might help me accept that this is a rare occurance and enjoy each day that bit more x
