It is a testiment to your teaching and raising of her on how she is. There are a lot of kids out there that outright ignore their diabetes and get themselves into trouble down the line. <br />Please don't dispair about her diagnosis though. The chances are greater than better that she will have a better life than most other people because she will be careful about what she puts into herself. That is super in my books! I know a few type 1 diabetics who were diagnosed at an early age (unlike me, I was diagnosed last march) who are the picture of perfect health.<br />I personally don't look at your daughters diagnosis as stealing her childhood innocence. I look on it as empowering. <br />Be well!Jason Sandemanhttp://welldonechef.comnoreply@blogger.com
