[QUOTE="Just Laura, post: 346087, member: 56553"] Hi Ness My little 5 year old was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago (my goodness, it's been that long!) and right from the start, we were advised that we could inject in arms, bum, thighs or tummy. Obviously everyone is different though and I'd still double check first. But can't see any reason why not. My daughter is thin as a pin (just like her Daddy) and had also lost weight before being in hospital but we inject everywhere. Well, everywhere that's okay! She prefers her bum but clearly that's not okay in school so she has her arm jabbed there. I know exactly how you're feeling now and it's still very raw and real to me but (and I can't believe I'm now the one saying this) but it really does get easier and less overwhelming as time goes on. Obviously I'm no expert and totally new to this myself but any time you want to chat, rant, moan or just generally feel peed off with the world, then just holler. Happy to give email address / phone numbers by personal message. Hang in there. x Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
