[QUOTE="antrlfsz, post: 822707, member: 174556"] HI Lillybella My daughter was also diagnosed when she was 2, it has been almost 2 years now since her diagnosis. I felt exactly the same as you but after doing much research I have come to terms that it was not my fault or anybody elses fault. Type 1 diabetes is unfortunately carried over in our genes and just needs some trigger to be activated. My husband and I have taken a positive approach to our daughters condition and have managed to get her glucose under control with A1C's ranging from 6.5 - 6.8, sure you will experience the highs and lows especially because your daughter is still growing, this alone triggers glucose levels to rise for no reason. When my daughter was diagnosed all I could think of was research, research and research, that would be my advice to you, get to know what you have & your daughter will have to deal with in the future, this helped me so much and put my mind to ease. But don't believe everything you come across, if I wasn't sure I asked our doctor or educator for more advice. You and your family will be just fine, your daughter will soon adapt to her condition and will turn out to be a little trooper, they are so resilient and as a mother it will come naturally to you to provide the best possible care for your daughter. Read your labels of your products that you buy and cut down on the carb intake, its the carbs that cause major spikes more than anything else. My thoughts are with you and your family, be strong, the light is at the end of your tunnel and not to far either!! [/QUOTE]
