[QUOTE="MamaIzzy, post: 2381951, member: 539614"] Hi there Moominpapa, I hear you! My 15 yr old daughter was diagnosed out of the blue last month and I go from feeling on top of things to completely overwhelmed on an almost daily basis. The learning curve is pretty steep but it is amazing how quickly the new regime becomes second nature. But then the real fun begins...conversations with insensitive consultants (hopefully you won’t have that one!) and working out how it will all fit in once life returns to some normality and they can start seeing friends/ going to school etc. I know my daughter will work it all out but some days I feel like I am walking across a minefield. Navigating the path between being supportive and working out the best food and diet to keep her blood sugars as stable as possible and keeping her healthy, against what she wants to eat and how she wants to live as a teenager feels a lonely place some days. We’ll get there. Good luck to you and your daughter, I wish you the smoothest path possible! [/QUOTE]
