Hi all
My husband has had to take my youngest daughter of 10 years to A&E in an ambulance. Today my daughter seemed to be drinking more than usual and i asked her nan and grandad if she had been drinking alot last week while my 2 daughters were staying with them. I have always told her to drink plenty of fluids especially in hot weather as she was born with only 1 kidney. This evening my husband made her a orange juice and 10 minutes later to came upto me asking for another drink.my husband said to me do a blood glucose test on her with my old meter as i have been type 1 for 30 years, i done a test and it came up HIGH off the scale so i immediatly called NHS direct for advice of what to do next they put me through to a doctor who said he would call an ambulance for her. My husband has gone with her as i have my 12 year old daughter to look after as we all could'nt in the ambulance still waiting for some news
Does anyone know if they will keep her in hospital if so how long , i know when i was diagnosed 30 years ago i had to stay in for 1 week but i think its not that long now. Even though i am type 1 it is abit of a shock to me and i feel abit responsible even though it can't be helped.
Any advise please for children with diabetes
