Just wondered if an parents of type1 children have experienced this.
Son now aged 9 but diagnosed at aged 4. All the experts keep reminding me that as he was young when diagnosed and has since grown up with type1 he would be able to cope with it better. I am now beginning to have a battle with him over his diabetes from blood testing to eating. Some days he just says that he wished he was dead and hates his diabetes. I know it is something that he has to live with, but it worries me that when he becomes a teenager he might do something silly.
Any thoughts?????
