Thank you for sharing this. I thought I was alone. My husband was recently (just last August 8, on his 26th birthday) diagnosed with diabetes, and is still waiting for the doctor’s confirmation if T1 or T2. It really broke my heart knowing that some things will never be the same. I am in constant fear about what I have been reading about the disease. Blindness, neuropathy, amputated limbs, the list goes on. I try to appear calm when I am around him but deep inside I am so hurt with the news. I keep asking myself if I could have done anything about it. Well, for one, I could have asked him to slow down on his sugar intakes (whenever we go out, a part of my share of the dessert goes to him). Or I could have researched early on about why he was constantly tired and was losing weight without changing anything on his diet. He’s still so young, 26 (but reading more about diabetes reveals that there are people as young as 18 months). We have just been married and have a 5-month old son and I feel that we cannot do all the things we’ve been planning to do.
