I must say I did find it difficult, but learnt much more by doing things myself too. I know it is different as your little one is still young, but you will be surprised by how tough he will be.Leicester support group is very good and used to hold residential weekends for kids like yours, I don't know whether they still do? They used to be held at quorn hall, I used to help youngsters deal with their new diagnosis. If you can get in touch with the Leicester group, they may still do the residential weekends.The support groups are really good as you can have as much or little involvement as you like.I hope you get on alright and come through the other end.It does get better!MattSent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
