Hi helen
Welcome
Don't worry you soon get the hang of how site works, we have several mums that belong to the site of children of all ages so there a lot of information available...
Have you taken a peek at the youth section?
Don't worry about whether if a question you want to ask might be deemed as silly, as there is no silly questions, only questions that you don't know the answer to and we've all have asked the same question at some point of our career of being a diabetic...
You will find that there could be a lot of different answers to a question that you've asked, but this is because we will answer the question based on what works for us, and when it comes to diabetes it is as individual as we are, so what works for one may not work for another...
So ask away
Jo
