[QUOTE="marynf, post: 135151, member: 26775"] Hi, Our daughter was diagnosed in October last year aged 4. I can remember the shock as if it was yesterday, but two things kept me going during that day in hospital. Firstly I kept saying to myself that there was probably someone downstairs being told much worse things about their child, and secondly that diabetes is a manageable condition. Now six months on diabetes is just a part of our lives, it is manageable, she is fit and healthy and we have coped with it all. There are days when the numbers just don't work out and I don't know why, there have been a couple of times she has gone really low (which was more frightening in hindsight) and there are days where I get fed up with having to think about whether she can that snack or how many carbs she might eat at lunch. But 98% of the time she is just who she always was - a healthy little girl - and I try to focus on that. Diabetes has definitely affected us more than her: this is now normal for her and she cannot remember a Before, for which I am thankful. I've not posted before but have been reading, and people's advice has been really helpful. It's good to know that whatever is going on someone has seen it before. Big hugs Mary [/QUOTE]
