[QUOTE="Kayes Dad, post: 566343, member: 77954"] Kaye was diagnosed in Sept 2012, the 17th to be exact, that day is still so fresh in my mind. She was 9 at the time. She coped really well from the start and has now been on an insulin pump for almost a year. Yeah the point about telling everybody straight away is quite funny. I still do it. Kaye doesn't bother too much but after I think...did I really need to blurt that out? When she first started taekwondo the first thing I said to the instructor was " this is Kaye she has type 1 diabetes". I immediately felt so bad but couldn't help it. It's a good bit of advice to let them decide themselves. Kaye is doing a presentation to her guide unit about T1 diabetes next month. It will be good for her and also help the other guides learn a bit more about it. When she first went back to school after her diagnosis she read out a few paragraphs about type 1 diabetes to her class as a way of telling them about the condition she now has. She done this off her own back, it was all her idea. I think also she just didn't want a million questions all at once. Her class mates and teachers have been great and very supportive.
