so 11 months ago to the day my daughter was hospitalized and dx with type 1 diabetes and i go to the dr today and they confirm d for me as well ...i still dont know what type yet, im waiting on the blood test to come back in the next day or two ...i have randomly tested myself and over the holiday it was really high for a non-d so i kept checking and it was not just a fluke so i made an appointment to get things checked out ..i took all the numbers i had taken and she confirmed d from the numbers but had to do bloodwork of course to make it official ...im not really sure how i feel about this yet ...i dont have that feeling of devastation that i did when she was dx.. i guess its easier being me and after all we have been through and learned with her i know what im getting into ...or maybe it just hasnt set in yet ...anywho i just thought i would share and say thank you for all the support and help everyone has given us over the past year

Goodness. Well, the initial response from a lot will be "I'm sorry" but ...as my older daughter said to me not so long ago...""if it happened to me mommy, Molly would have someone who knew what it was like." God gives us blessings in disguise. I pray that this challenge in your life makes your family even stronger. God bless!

thank you ...i understand what you are saying about your daughter ...Taylor was excited when she found out and i couldnt bring myself to tell her it wasnt a good thing as i dont want her to think negative about herself having d ...so now she is giving mommy tips and what to do's :rolleyes:

Oh bless her little heart. Hang in there and let her "help" you for a bit. And do give yourself time to be upset for your dx...it's okay to be upset too...kinda tough when you have to put up a tough front for your DD

Wow I really don't know what to say. Like Denise said at least that gives Taylor someone close to share d with.
Bless both of you!

i heard from the dr. today and i have type 2 , i go in the morning to find out what meds they are going to put me on and all
That sucks and of course, you're daughter is too young to understand. She's just excited that she has someone she knows that's the same as her.
Take time to cope with your diagnosis. You will likely have a roller coaster of emotions of the next while.
On the flip side, you are already way ahead on the learning curve.

i think that is why it has not upset me so much yet at least because i dont feel like im going into this blind with no clue what im getting into since we have already learned and been through so much with taylor ...although i did break out in hives yesterday morning so maybe im not dealing as well as i think i am
