[QUOTE="pplprincess5480, post: 135082, member: 26766"] [color=#800080]Hi, My 3yr old daughter Lottie was diagnosed with type 1 nearly two weeks ago. She had been under the weather for a while but I couldn't work out why. I thought maybe she had a UTI. The weekend before she was diagnosed we had decided to get her checked out at the GP's on the Monday morning. That Sunday night she woke every hour, she was desperately thirsty and it started ringing alarm bells. I googled the symptoms of diabetes in children and started to worry even more, I thought I was being neurotic. I took a urine sample to the docs with us and he confirmed that she was most likely diabetic and sent us on to the hospital. As you can imagine my Hub and I were in shock and cried all the way to the hospital. When we got there they did all the tests needed and confirmed that my daughter is a Type 1 Diabetic. We stayed in hospital for two days while we got to grips with things. Lotts has been so brave and accepting. We haven't had any issues with testing or injecting and I feel blessed that we caught it early and that she has coped so well. I coped fine when we were in hospital and up until the past few days have been ok but it seems to have caught up with me now. I haven't slept well since we found and I wake every morning before her so that I can be there when she does her blood sugars but now I am exhausted which doesn't help my mood. Basically I just wanted to be able to talk to other people who understand what we have been through and know how it feels. Sorry for the moan but I needed to get it off my chest. [/color] [/QUOTE]
