Hello everyone,
My 12 ur old has been suffering from emotional based school avoidance (or so we thought) since November 2023. She had completely stopped going to school and was having panic attacks and suffering greatly from lack of self esteem.
Then last week after noticing some signs, we went to hospital and discovered she had T1 diabetes.
My question is if anyone else has suffered the same multi faceted situation, whether you feel that the underlying diabetes was the trigger for school avoidance. And of course, have things improved at all since making the discovery or have the school avoidance problems increased?
I presume these are all linked to some degree, but I am curious if this is a trend that is appearing in our kids with undiscovered health problems?
