    Sweets & Treats!

    Thanks Juicyj, Oh we do all that. My daughter is a carb counting master. Thats not the issue. Stopping to do a bolus when your mates have just offered you an impromptu triple choc cookie or a handfull of haribo does not go hand in hand with being a "normal" functioning 12 year old in her...

    Sitting here in a bit of a whirl/panic after 2 days of no sleep and an 11 year old in hospital, who we know know was in DKA and is now recovering with her brand new type 1 diagnosis. Illness in kids is hard right? but we've not encountered anything where 2 hours into the hospital hell they...
