Things I either thought about diabetes or heard about BEFORE I had to really learn about it: Diabetes is just for overweight people. Eating too much sweets causes diabetes. Your feet get gross and sometimes have to be cut off because you sit all day and eat sugar. Diabetes is just for old people. Diabetes is just one type - the sugar type. When diagnosed, this is what ran through my brain: I must have caused my baby to get this because I drank too much sugary soda when I was pregnant. I gave him candy before he turned 1! Did I not feed him the right stuff when he was an infant? Did my family genes pass it to him? Maybe my being of advanced maternal age messed him up. Somehow I must have done SOMETHING wrong because what innocent baby would get this?! Its got to be my fault! Hes going to DIE! Now: He is brave. He is a strong boy. He will grow up. He will play sports if he wants. He can get dirty and have fun. He can eat cake on his second birthday and every one after that. I can do this. I didnt cause it. Im not alone. I have help and support. He is my baby boy who is just too sweet for his own good!
