I have been reading your comments and stories about the constant struggle for support and it is truly overwhelming to see how many people share this reality. The messages you send me keep me going when the process feels slow because I know this is much bigger than just my own experience.

Seeing so many people stand with me on this makes me realize just how many others are frustrated by these unfair reviews. I never imagined this would reach this many people and I am honestly just moved that you decided to join me.

My daughter is 16years and dx2003. I am working harder and longer minding her now than ever. I never expected to still be as involved but this is how it is and feeling invisible and dismissed despite 3am checks etc...
I have been diabetic since the age of 14 I am know 36!! My mum got a little bit of help but stopped at age 16. I have tried a couple of times but they always turn me down! As I am not that bad!!! Even though I need help with hypos if I miss them, good job I have a great husband.mI feel all children should get higher rate, they never asked for this. X
100% agree with other comments having a son diagnosed at 19 months old with Type 1 it is a life threatening condition with no breaks or time off and yet so much stigma attached to it.
Definitely needs to be, as a mum of two with type 1, every day is so unpredictable, every night becomes a worry, a diabetic mum never switches off, it is a 24/7 condition..there is no regulation as every single emotion throughout life can raise or lower levels significantly without warning.
Type 1 diabetes is life-threatening with no known cure. Our children need help, Type 1 doesn't just stop being dangerous because they become a teen or adult. What part of lifetime/lifelong illness and NO cure don't people understand
how old is your son now, and why don't you appeal if you have been turned down for dla, also does he have good or bad control of his diabetes, any other problems like depression , ide like to help if I can
thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, I have been waiting for this for 10 years now, I could cry, thankyou again xxxxxx

My son was diagnosed Type 1 diabetic at the age of 16 years and 1 month - he is entitled to nothing.
