My 5 year old was diagnosed at 3 with type 1. And I've been a type 1 for 30 years. It's scary, and your life does change,but it can still be full and healthy! I've never allowed my diabetes or my son's to stop us. I tell my little guy when he asks why he's diabetic, it's just a part of who you are. Being diabetic requires special care, but you don't have to let it limit you. I've traveled overseas, got married, gas 3 beautiful children, and a job I love. There is hope, so hang in there.
