Hello , welcome to the forum .

You probably feel your whole world has just been flipped . There will be loads of information to take in and loads to learn . Just remember to ask any questions you need to . Everyone is always constantly learning something new about diabetes who have had if for years .
I'm 22 and have had diabetes for 15 years . It is such a shock to the system , but just always look after diabetes , there will be hard times and very hard times , but just remember diabetes is do able and is defiantly livable .

Good luck throughout your journey . Loads of friendly people on here to try and help and advice stay strong .
Take care

Hi and welcome. Your daughter probably has Type 1 diabetes where anti-bodies attack the pancreatic islet cells. I suspect she will be placed on insulin and is likely to need to stay on it. If you have questions when she comes out of hospital then do ask; possibly on the Type 1 forum. Take care.
