On Facebook tonight I learned that a colleague's son was diagnosed with diabetes at two years old. He asked for warm wishes and helpful" We'll get through this" advice. He had 23 comments at last check.
I sent him a message and said I am happy to help them anyway I can. My experience with diabetes for the past 26 years and three days (Oct.13, 1983) will be helpful. My experience with a daughter with T1 for five years and two months will be welcome, I'm sure.
However, my long message offered very little advice; that two of the three available doctors are best, and that it really will be ok.
What more can you say on the eve of diagnosis?

That is so tough. I'm sure your experience, both as someone living with type 1 and as a parent of someone living with type 1, will be a great help to them as time goes on.
