Wow I do hope your friend has a lot of support around her. Thats a lot to handle on your own.

Thanks so much for your reply. What a fantastic way of describing what the kids are going through. It can be very over whelming at times but the kids are amazing. We are yet to hit the teenage years and I am bracing myself for that!! The support at the hospital and school is great...

Hello, all 3 of my children (age 7, 11 and 12) have now been diagnosed with Type 1. My daughter had a similar experience to yours but the boys bounced back quite quickly. Things did come right with my daughter though - there is such a lot to understand for everyone.
