But I'm grateful that you had a reason to repost this. I'm totally crying right now and I'm not even a parent, but an adult with type 1 diabetes, and you're right, all we can control is our attitude. I try (as hard as it is some days) to remember the blessings. That some people don't have access to insulin... I have health insurance. I have insulin. I am alive and in control (most days!) and I have a greater appreciation for life because of diabetes. Not a lot of people can say that. This is a great post! Thanks so much!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639777979512110600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-86002538542650988912012-06-18T01:51:15.784-04:002012-06-18T01:51:15.784-04:00Oooh girl I know how that goes.

Fortunately for me, a few weeks before my diagnosis I knew something wasn't right with my body, but I was clueless as to what was wrong, and our family was vacationing far from home. As the symptoms became more pronounced, I thought, deep down, that whatever I had might be fatal (though I never shared this thought with my parents.) When I was placed in the hospital after my return home, and learned from the attending endocrinologist that I had diabetes, he expressed his sadness at my diagnosis. I was ecstatic, because I learned that diabetes was not fatal! I soon learned that it USED to be fatal, and that made me feel even luckier. Attitude may not be EVERYTHING, but it can help a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-45791491795125691062012-06-15T02:27:28.136-04:002012-06-15T02:27:28.136-04:00Thanks for stating my feelings so eloquently ~ I i...Thanks for stating my feelings so eloquently ~ I identified with almost every line. D has brought so many incredilble people & experiences into my & my family's lives that some days I feel so blessed. Other days, I want to curl up & hide under the covers until it all goes away, but it never will... My daughter remembers some 'before' (dx 1-17-2005 @ 8 1/2 y/o) and my son remembers much more of 'before' (dx 8-29-2010 @ 11 y/o)... and I remember all of it, before & after and wish I didn't some days. Life doesn't stop for anyone, and all we can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other & pray that the next day is better than the one before. <br />Thanks again & I hope today is a good one for you.Diane Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173533022537875574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-31694068214235591462012-06-15T01:49:26.953-04:002012-06-15T01:49:26.953-04:00I did borrow this and post it to my facebook page ...I did borrow this and post it to my facebook page but I made sure to link back to this page. Because I am thankful that I have the ability to help my child every day. But there are days...that this disease sucks..and it's not fair that I have to give my daughter shots every day. But I am lucky that I have a daughter to give Shots to every day. Because I could be like many parents years ago that do not get to help their children as much as I do every day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06676233496744797974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-63542892418187615922012-06-15T00:58:38.102-04:002012-06-15T00:58:38.102-04:00I am sorry that was happening.
