Hello Georgina !!
I find myself in the same case as you, I also diagnosed me very little, in my case type 1, and it is very afraid to face a disease that requires so many care, despite that toodo the world is telling me what worse things there are,etc.My reality is this, and it is the one I have to live.

I encourage you not to leave, follow a treatment and pay attention to everything doctors tell you, because they will teach you to have a better quality of life, and not have complications in the future.

Do it for your children, for your husband, for you ... for whoever., But do it!

A strong hug

Let's see, Georgina:

That attitude of hiding the head under the wing irritates me greatly.
Do you mean you don't know the disease for fear of the unknown?Send noses.If you bother to inform you, it will stop being unknown, and it was fear, right?

The truth is that I do not understand that, seeing the family history, your father's complications, etc., you still doubt the important thing to control from the beginning.

Anyway, since it seems that you now consider taking care of yourself, here you have us, in case you need advice.

For now, the only thing I can tell you is that controlling the disease is the only thing that will avoid those complications.

Courage and greetings
