Welcome to the forum,Tracy,we can certainly use your experience!There are quite a few mums with newly diagnosed children on the forum who need all the help they can get.
 
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.
