Welcome!!! You have to stop worrying about the future and just live for now! Get yourself under control and the rest will take control! I took diabetes at 10 and at that time they told me I would never live to see 30 well I proved them wrong! I’m now 44! HA1 They also told me after 3 miscarrages I would never have a baby. Well I got 2 girls one 19 and the other 17 and in March I will be a grandma not only once but twice!!! By my Type 1 diabetic daughter who was born with 1 hand and took d at 11 and is now a CNA! Just fight and prove to them their wrong! I had a 1st cousin who was the 1st diabetic in our family and very religous when I took D at 10 I cried the “Why me” to her and she told me I was special and was here to teach future generations how to deal with this problem. I took that to heart. She had alot of complications and died at 48 so it’s getting close for me right now I’m 44.
When I turned 30 I called her crying about being 30 and at that time she was 38 I ask her how she got threw 30 and she said something that I have always kept in mind she said, " I just thank God for everyday I’m here" At that time she had lost both legs up to her thighs and had had a kidney transplant and was DRIVIND her van!!! I always thought if she could do that I would make it! Always look to the bright side there’s always someone out there worse off than you.! Though I will admit at times I can’t seem to find them! HA! Enjoy that little boy and teach him how to be strong and he will always look up to you! You will be his insperation!! Though I don’t know if boys are like girls but mine told me when they got into their teens and I grounded them at various times they wished I was dead and I told them I was gonna live to make their lives hell! Boy were they mad!!! I told my mom that too but she passed 2 1/2 years ago and boy do I wish I had her now! Chin up girl you will make it!!
