[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 225730, member: 17199"] Hi, I'm glad she seems to be taking it all a bit better now :) I was diagnosed aged 20 so i understand it's quite a shock for someone around that age. Not easy to hear when you are just starting to do your own thing and want to be independant. I'm sure the more she gets used to it the more she will talk with her friends about it too. Encourage her to share her BG results and when she feel's like her BG is low. My mum used to demand i show her and she used to ask ALL the time, i know she was just being a concerned mum but i felt like it was too much and i just wanted all the hype about it to settle down. For a first hypo it actually seems like she did pretty well! i swear i probably ate 8 times what she did bless her! It may be a good idea for you to point her in the direction of the forum so she can maybe read a few posts and if she feels brave enough she can post if she wants :) sometimes it's alot easier to talk to a stranger than a friend or family! When i was diagnosed i hovered over the forum for a few weeks before i had the courage to post! It's always hard at the beggining, for family as well as the person who has been diagnosed, but it gets easier as everyone learns more about diabetes and how it fits into everyones lives because it does effect everyone really. It really sounds like you love and care for your daughter and she seems to be doing very well too!:) all the best! [/QUOTE]
