[QUOTE="jules84, post: 1528390, member: 427289"] Hi, Just a little message to say that I am in a similar boat to you. My 4 year old little girl was diagnosed on Thursday. With the injections she started screaming and hiding in a corner, it broke my heart. Now we are 5 days in and she likes to pick her injection site. I found that giving her control helped, like asking which finger we should use and where we need to inject. I know that all children are different, but i explained a little to her, i tell her that her pancreas falls asleep and the injection is to wake it up. Not accurate, but its a level she can understand. Kids are so adaptable, they really amaze me sometimes. hope you all are well [/QUOTE]
