Secondly, to the TUDiabetes Administration, there is a reason that I…"
Molten Fungus replied to jakesmom427's discussion 'Feeling very angry right now' in the group parents of kids with Type 1""No one, regardless of type, is responsible for causing their own diabetes. "
Really ?
Is that why it's becoming an epidemic in this country.. and the correlation between T2 diabetes and obesity have absolutely no relationship ?
ps.…"

1eyednurseguy replied to jakesmom427's discussion 'Feeling very angry right now' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hey Jakesmom, Trust me. I feel your frustration. It is always hard for me to talk to my family about diabetes because they developed type 2 primarily based on their lifestyle choices.

daneenm replied to jakesmom427's discussion 'Feeling very angry right now' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Totally understand. My son was dx at 20 months, so I understand exactly how you feel. Those toddler years are so volatile in BGs on a normal day, and add illness and it can be maddening/scary/exhausting!
I will tell you that as they get older,…"
ProudMama replied to jakesmom427's discussion 'Feeling very angry right now' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"jakesmom - do not apologize for feeling as you do.

- Hi Jake's Mom,
I recently joined Tu and looking for people in this area with Type 1 to start a support group or every now and then meet up. Or maybe you already have leads to one. I love this site but would like to have personal contacts to discuss our daily solutions on dealing with diabetes. Just a thought. Let me know if you are interested. I live in Mt. Washington and love the city but would be willing to travel wherever.
Dee:)
