[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1337299, member: 88961"] Sara - I don't have any relevant experience or wisdom to offer you, but wanted to make a comment. I don't know where you live in the country, but the most local major (15 miles from me) Diabetes Centre here has quite a bit of common activity for child diabetics, from summer camps, to a choir, to parties and summer holiday activities. Our local Diabetes UK group recently had the choir come and sing some Christmas music to us. It was absolutely lovely. Without knowing the common bond, one would never have know they had diabetes. Their "leader" did describe herself as "The Bag Lady" as she always carries a decent hypo kit, and other potentially helpful supplies. They all had to do their bloods before performing, and they just got on with it. Most of the kids had a parent/adult with them (as they had travelled) and they all seemed to be having a jolly good catch up and gossip, within their own spin-off support group. There may just be more out there in your community than you realise. Until a couple of months ago, I had no idea all this was available for the children. Please do ask at your hospital/clinic or wherever you receive day-to-day support for your daughter. You could find a decent support network for the whole family. [/QUOTE]
