my friend was just diagnosed with Juvenal%26#039;s diabetes and she is acting different and i want to know what i can expect from her.|||Juvenile diabetes changes your life. It still overwhelms me and I have had it for eight years. She now has to worry about all kinds of health consequences and she has to take care of herself every day. It may depress her, she may rebel and do things bad for her health or she may take it all in stride. Sooner or later she will make her peace with it. you just need to be there for her and you need to understand that it is great that you are looking up stuff and attempting to be there for her but since you dont have diabetes there will always be some things that she will feel like you don%26#039;t understand. It sucks right now but it will get better.|||Juvenile diabetes (type 1) is a scary experience at first! Your friend will probably either want to talk about it a lot or not talk about it at all. The best thing that you can do is go with the flow and do what she wants for now. If she wants to talk about it all the time, let her. That%26#039;s good! Listen and talk with her. If she doesn%26#039;t want to talk at all, do that! Keep her occupied with other stuff.
She%26#039;s probably scared, nervous and overwhelmed by all of it. Or she may be empowered to beat it!
Good luck and support your friend through it all!
