[QUOTE="CambridgeLass, post: 350935, member: 54889"] We were given a crash course and sent home the same day. I was very nervous. Hubby went to work and my son went to nursery. I am so thankful for that day at home together for us both to adjust. The DNS called every day for the first week, and I also called when a couple of times when I was worried about a reading. I think the teams have an induction plan for newbies, first week daily contact, weekly visits for the first month, down to 2 weekly and so on. But they should always be someone avialble if you need help at any time. By day 3 my daughter was back at school. We did the show and tell thing too. She had the kids book and took it in with her hospital being brave sticker chart and told the class about what happned and what diabetes was. The kids wanted to know when they could do her injections :) By week two I was writing down questions to take to clinic which was really useful. I really recommend this as I had lots of questions as I went along and discovered/read new things. It's too much to take in at once. It'll all come gradually. x [/QUOTE]
