Hello everyone,
So good to find this forum and can't wait to get posting and to learn from others with Type 1's, especially parents of little ones. Our 2 year old daughter was diagnosed last Saturday in hospital with ketoacidosis. It's been a total rollercoaster for us and a massive learning curve.
She's on novorapid and levemir injections 4 times a day in total and we're measuring her blood sugar levels 6-8 times. Blood checks are now a doddle but injections are still a battleground - hoping to get some tips from others on how to deal with everything as it all feels quite overwhelming at times!
Her blood sugars are still all over the place (she's eating like a horse now she's back home and seems to be eating constantly which makes it all the trickier!), though are coming down overall. We hope to get it as under control as is possible with a 2 year old D) as soon as we can - and look forward to learning lots from all your combined experience!
Best wishes,
Lis
