Hi my name Sara, my daughter Lilly was diagnosed with diabetes 1, three weeks ago. I new something wasn't right when her moods became really out of character,she was very up and down., Being sick but no other symptoms that would suggest a virus. We went to see the doctor and Lilly was taken to hospital, she was given insulin and I was told she had diabetes within an hour. She was in hospital for 4 days and before she could even process what was happening to her, we were injecting her with insulin, She asks me everyday why i cant make it better and why she has to have Diabetes. I tell Lilly, we are making her better, that's why we have to do the injections. I tell her that sometimes things just happen that neither lilly nor anyone else caused this. I am really trying to stay positive but some days like today feel like my heart is breaking into a million pieces. We went to see Santa and when she was asked what she wanted for Christmas she said not to have diabetes anymore. That she doesn't want presents ever again if it means she doesn't have diabetes. Today She had two Hypos, it made her feel so poorly and upset, she has been in bed most the day. Would love to hear from others.All i want is to make my baby feel better and not be so sad. Its heart breaking and just want to make it as good as it can be for her.
