hya chloe,
we have a childrens forum u can look at too,
what might be best is if u ask questions about what is bothering u then we might be able to help you, and remember not to give personal details out on the net amanda

she's right!

If you have any questions about anything you only have to ask! There's no such thing as a stupid question here!

Here's a tip for you if you're on multiple daily injections... get a watch with an alarm function on it and set it to go off when you're basal injection is due. Or when your post prandial (after meal) glucose test is due!

Remember to train Mum, Chloe. You are still very young, so she needs to keep an eye on you for a year or two more.

My advice is not to give yourself a hard time for every high or low bsl. I imagine this news is hardest on your mental attitude rather than the day to day routine. Managing diabetes does become second nature after a while. It is hardest to get other people to realise that you have to stop what you are doing to either eat, test or have insulin. Most people think you can wait an hour or finish your current task and have no understanding that managing diabetes wont wait.

Enjoy life to the full, Jen.
