I'm glad I'm not the only mum. Daughter age9 diagnosed three months ago. Problems with diagnoses as 12hours later started having violent epileptic fits (it never rains but poors). She has four injections a day, plus four lots of medication. I spend every lunch time at school to do injections.(school dinners look even worse than when I was in school). We are carb counting. Which is much easier than it sounds.
I Have found this site great help and suport. Hope you do too.
