Hi, I have just found this site whilst searching online for answers. My daughter was just diagnosed on Monday this week and it has turned our world upside down .
I feel sooooo anxious & stressed whilst still trying to put on a brave face for her. One of the many things im struggling with is what to let her eat. We are on 4 insulin injections a day at the moment while they try to sort out her blood sugar levels. We have been as high as 30.5 & the lowest at 14 so far.
In hospital they said if she's hungry let her eat, at the moment she seems contantly hungry.
Last week before diagnosis she would have grazed between the fruit bowl & the biscuit tin. Now I am looking at everything with a different eye. She's only 8 so hasn't fully comprehended whats going on.
Basically inbetween meals what do you normally opt for & how strict do I need to be regarding her selections.
Thank you for any help you may be able to give & im sure this will be the 1st of very many questions
