[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2561930, member: 372717"] Welcome to the forums [USER=563920]@Sterling80[/USER] I'm so sorry your child has this diagnosis but I have to say that I don't regret getting T1 as a child of 8 rather than an adult. Children generally get good medical care and I feel it's easier to adjust when you are still young. (I had carbohydrate lists memorised very soon after my diagnosis ). T1 hasn't stopped me from doing anything I wanted to do (makes a few things more inconvenient) and though I've given up on a "cure" for myself the treatment for young T1s improves all the time and is light years ahead of what it was like when I was diagnosed. It should get easier as you get used to it. Lots of virtual hugs for you and your child. Once more welcome. [/QUOTE]
