Hello,
I'm Clorinda and my 11 month old baby has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes about 2 weeks ago. We are in the UK and he's been put straight onto a pump.
Obviously in shock esp as there is no known type 1 in the family.
We have great support from the NHS here, and he seems to be getting on well with the pump, though I hate the insertion/set changes. Hopefully we will be able to use the glucose sensor soon once his levels even off a bit, but a bit anxious about the insertion again!
Looking forward to learning more about diabetes in kids, so will mosey on over to the kids board shortly.
