My Diabetic Child Grew Up
Hi. I am the mother of an adult diabetic who was 15 months of age when he was diagnosed diabetic in 1970. The technoogy in1970 was pretty archaic and didn't tell us much of anything. My son was either in an insulin reaction or had high blood sugars. There didn't seem to be any middle of the road sugars.

Yes, Robert is an absolute favorite member.
We are sort of neighbors - I live in Minneapolis.
Glad you got here and joined, at some point I can come over and help you with yoru profile. :o)
Lots of increadable people here. I have faith that with some of the parents with newly diagnosed kids could use some of your information, stroies and experiences. A little bit differnt since the technoligy catches it allot sooner than when I was diagnosed, but I can see some of the same fears and worries in their comments and expereinces. Plus it is a great place to reach out to other families with diabetic family memebers and you can share feelings and emotions. :o)
I see you found our Diabetic Complications group, and all of welcome you and thank you for joining.
Will talk to you soon.
I wish you well.
Love you
Robert
