[QUOTE="Leinad, post: 2353330, member: 536076"] Hi all 2021 was soposed to be a good year for us with a fresh start in a new home but literally 10 min before the fireworks on new year's eve my 17 month old daughter started to have a low grade fever. This continued for a few days and she slowly deteriorated we checked NHS guidance and it indicated wait 5 days before going to the gp with a fever. On the third night she drank so much water she vomitted all over the bed. We decided to phone the gp they where suspecting sepsis so they sent out a paramedic the last test he did was blood sugar and she was through the roof. She got rushed to hospital and diagnosed type 1. She is currently in hospital they have got her stable to some extent but face a issue where the lowest possible dose of insulin on the pen is to much for her because she is so small. So she almost constantly has high blood sugar. The doctors have decided that in this state it is not manageble with out a pump as it can give smaller doses, so hopefully on Monday we should be receiving a pump and cgm. I am slowly getting used to the idea but still filled with dread and fear. Any body else in this circumstance any advice is welcome at this stage. I am incredibly greatful to the NHS for helping us in these trying times with covid and it is quite scary to be in the hospital at this moment in time. [/QUOTE]
