[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2353339, member: 372717"] I am so so sorry this has happened to you and your daughter. I can't comment on the logistics of managing T1 with such a young child but know that there are posters on here who have done so. I just want to reassure you that however bad things seem now there is light at the end of the tunnel. Modern treatment for T1s is light years ahead of what it was 50 years ago when I was diagnosed, and there is no reason at all why your daughter can't lead the (long and healthy) life she chooses. Pumps and continuous glucose monitors make all the difference for new T1s and though I'm sure you are currently devastated your daughter will get used to the new normal and will never know any better. Lots and lots of virtual hugs. You can do this. ps I've been promised a cure in ten years for the last 50 years so I'm not holding out for it for me, but I think that treatment for your daughter may eventually get so good that it's near that. But don't hold out for a cure, concentrate on getting through until she's old enough to start to take charge herself. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
