I am a part of the extended sweet family and so is my nephew. When my sister told me that her son is a diabetic, I really didnt know the implication it shall have on her and our family, leave alone the poor kid. Now that I have been diagnosed of diabetes myself, I can understand what all you just cant have in life now.
Sometimes I wonder how he would react when he grows up and as he would never have tasted anything sweet and the wonders it can give you. I remember people describing a Birthday Cake as "orgasmic". The prick of the insulin is a part of him for his whole life. I dont feel sorry for him, I just love him more everytime I see him.
I remember the day when he had very low sugar one morning and I immediately opened the refrigerator and have him had chocolate for the first time in his life. "Bread" he said. It is bread he told me and then started playing with his toys..
