My son was diagnosed at 16 months, and just turned two a couple weeks ago. We do everything we can to treat him just as any other little toddler. We also don't make a big deal out of the diabetes so that his big brother (age 3.5) won't treat him differently, and can stand up for him down the road when he starts taking flack for it.<br /><br />I also second the comment about posting the link to the video!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926722749669438692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191128400524019706.post-69079474645826570252013-07-09T18:02:35.292-04:002013-07-09T18:02:35.292-04:00Can you post a link to the video?Can you post a link to the video?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191128400524019706.post-59243738175717177052013-07-09T15:29:22.828-04:002013-07-09T15:29:22.828-04:00I was 24 when I got my first meter, before then I ...I was 24 when I got my first meter, before then I was checking my urine sugar and ketones using keto-diastix. That is what we used in the 1970's. Let me tell you, I hated testing my urine. That was... ICKY. I don't know if I would have rather tested my blood at the age of 5 or not.<br /><br />But is sounds like the mother of that girl didn't make the diabetes a big deal. That it's just something she (the girl) has to deal with. I've found that the parents who don't treat the child like they're going to break, do much better than the children who have parents who treat them like they can't survive simply because they have juvenile onset (type 1) diabetes.<br /><br />I always tell people, I've survived living with it for almost 48 years. I have no complications. You can survive.LRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670715983949140434noreply@blogger.com
