Hi, my name is zoe and my daughter of six years has just been dianosed with type 1 diabetes about a week ago. I am petrified :cry: . She is having insulin twice a day, and oh what a battle, i am a single mum, and unable to hold her to administer her insulin, so we are taking trips to the hospital every morning before breakfast, then again before tea, we were starting to make progress then this morning it all went to pot and seem to be back to square one. I am sure we will get through this and hopefully she will realise that she has to have the injections. My main concern is food. I only buy 'no added sugar' squash, we have got our little supply haribo and mini cans of coke incase of hypo's, She doesn't like ham, cheese, egg, milk, tuna,beef,pork, beans,anything in a sauce, gravy in fact she doesn't like anything wet. which doesn't leave much left to buy to keep her healthy
. i am really not sure what foods she should be eating, and what to give her for snack time, saying that she is always hungry, she just doesn't seem to stop. if anyone has any suggestions or comment about what i have written i would be very grateful, In fact any suggestions or tips about anything to do with diabetes and children would be fantastic. I know i have the support from the medical teams, but it would be nice to hear from people that live it.
many thanks
zoe
