[QUOTE="sjb2610, post: 566199, member: 75126"] I was 11 when I was diagnosed - so I can only really see it from what your daughter is going through. Firstly, I'd love to say it's an easy journey - unfortunately, it's not - but it is made easier with the right mindset. The best advice I was given (well, technically, my mum was given) was that it is a manageable condition - and that it doesn't have to rule your life. Encourage your daughter to own her diabetes - not to let it own her - it's a horrible, sucky condition but both of you will learn how to keep it in check. Things will get a lit more normal once you're home and back in your own surroundings. X [/QUOTE]
