I wonder if she has made a connection between food and being sick when she was poorly in hospital with initial diagnosis. Who wants to eat food if they think they will be sick? My son was an extremely fussy eater. I used to serve a plate of food (what we would normally eat - nothing special)...

To Woodiamond. Sorry I missed your post. I hope you are feeling a bit better and getting more sleep. It is normal (I hope otherwise it's just me and thee! ;)) to feel constantly worried. When my son was first diagnosed he was just a few weeks into having started nursery. They were brilliant...

Hello, I'm Jude and have an 8 year old son, Type 1 diagnosed from 13 months old. He's recently changed from pen to an animas pump. And it has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride with with it so far i all of the 12 days we've had it - well for me more than him - he is a chilled out dude! 8)...
