Hello, I read your post and felt i couldn't leave without writing something back!
I am 26 and was diagnosed Type One 7 weeks ago, I found it scary and upsetting to begin with/still do so i can't imagine with a 5 year old!
I'm in the 'honeymoon period' at the moment (silly name in my opinion! haha) But it means i am injecting less at the moment as my pancreas is having one last go at producing insulin! But i can't imagine how difficult this sometimes can be trying to manage all this as a child. I mean, there's alot to learn and think about! Big hugs to you and your family. I suppose the difficulty with her being so young is that children don't always tell you how they feel etc. You are bound to be upset and have your ups and downs but it will get easier, you will manage. But there is lots of help out there nowadays, and i joined this forum recently and everyone has been amazing answering my questions! If you ever need to chat feel free to message me! If i can help at all i would be happy to. x
