Hi,
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 last Wednesday. It's been a massive shock and a lot to try to come to terms with. She is 8. Looking to find people to chat with that understand. There is no one in her school with diabetes and we don't know anyone either. Thanks everyone.

Hi,
My name is Edith and I was diagnosed in April.
I am 9 and would really like to get to know you and your daughter and how you are coping.
It is hard but it gets better. Trust me

Hi @Dazzlergirl
welcome to the forum
hopefully you have a care plan in place for your daughter at school.
if not you need to speak with your daughter's DSN and she will arrange to get all relevant peeps involved to set one up-- your daughters care is paramount !!
what treatment is your daughter receiving currently ?
MDI injections or on a pump ?

there is a lot of great support for either type of treatment here on the forum .

do keep posting -- it must feel daunting but we will help support your family
