[QUOTE="wallyk65, post: 1383742, member: 179736"] Hi there Welcome to the forums. Diabetes diagnosis can be daunting and still is nearly 20 years later with our daughter, she was diagnosed type 1 at 16 months old! We made mistakes, didn't get things right, had periods of good control and periods of poor controls but the main thing to remember is that you're not alone!! Parents and diabetic teams have probably been through or seen most situations you can think of and are a great source of help, information and reassurance. Don't be afraid to ask...even if it seems silly or trivial. It can be daunting, frightening even but you'll get there, you'll find what works for you both just remember it takes time and you'll make mistakes. Our daughter is 21 this year, in her third year away at uni, did all the things kids do growing up including three years of Duke of Edinburgh, sleep overs, school trips, holidays etc You'll be great and you'll get there :-) [/QUOTE]
