[QUOTE="Angiejean, post: 662332, member: 135336"] I think that. Last year was the measles outbreak in wales. She had only one of her MMR jabs so I thought I had better get the second one done as with all childhood illnesses they can affect some people really badly and the complications you can be left with there can be devastating. I keep wondering was is that. If she hadn't had the jab would she be ok now? I guess I will never know. My grandmother was type 1 but my mother wasn't neither am I but I guess it's more likely to come from my side that his. At school it's hard as sweets are often given out as rewards in lessons and she has to take them home while all the other kids eat theirs there and then. It's that aspect of being different that upsets me and yes the spontaneity of being able to change your plans at the last minute. I am surprised how many people think that you just inject a pre dosed amount that someone medical has worked out for you and all the trial and error that it's takes to get right is overlooked. So many people think the finger prick test is the insulin injection and they say oh it's only like an epi-pen sprung loaded and I have to point out that it is a proper needle and that has to be done four times a day. Some kids from her school have watched the injections we have done and they say "wow I couldn't do that." I am so very proud of how she has coped. [/QUOTE]
