Hi, what an awful time you're all having! My daughter was dx'd this year, she's 12 and has always injected herself, however her school kicked off and refused to let her carry her meter or do a blood test whenever she needed. Our dsn was livid and told me to threaten the school with...

Please don't give up. Im not diabetic but my 12 year old daughter is. I had to answer the godawful question of mortality tonight. Right now I want to punch the world. I don't believe you ever become immune to the pain of shots, or ever really get used to the inconvenience of EVERYTHING that...

@ henry-sugar my daughters dsn told her she can now fly a commercial plane but still not join the raf. Don't know about trains tho'! :)

Hi, am a bit late in posting a reply but hope you get it! Im the mum of a T1 girl but she's only 12 so am not quite at the **** up stage! Can you let a few of his mates round to yours, let them get the beers in and let your son learn how it affects him in the safety of home first? You can be on...
