[QUOTE="Gemmablower, post: 843412, member: 162868"] It really is...I can really understand how this came out of nowhere for you and relate to how you are feeling, it's good you caught it early without having any idea that it might be in the family history. How is your daughter feeling in herself and coping? I have found in the early weeks that rewarding Zara after her injections with stickers of cartoon character she loves helped with distraction, she could choose it while I was injecting. Let her play with her monitor and stick stickers over her insulin ped and pretend to do my insulin and take my glucose so she became familiar with it. I think with little ones the one upside is you can normalise it all a bit quicker. We still have days where Zara protests against a injection but nothing major. I'm listening if you ever want to talk or ask anything. [/QUOTE]
