Hi there
Our toddler has just been diagnosed. We are upset understandably as it is a total shock to us/her. Just trying to get up to speed on all the information and this website which is very helpful.
We have a holiday booked for next month to Portugal and are unsure whether we should be going or not and whether we will be confident enough to give the insulin etc knowing that at the moment our hospital is just 10 mins away and we have 24 hour support on the phone if needed.
Does anyone have experience of bringing a young toddler with Type 1 on hols, will the heat affect her, is there anything we should be concerned about? I need to book our insurance today as of course this wasn't booked prior to getting diagnosed so I'm hoping not to encounter too many difficulties.
All responses gratefully received.
Thanks.
