[QUOTE="Bic, post: 2127602, member: 215944"] Hi, you are a very considerate and kind person, I'd love to have you around as my own neighbour! I guess the family of the little girl must be receiving some sort of help by the social services… Why not reaching out to the social workers who take care of the family, offer your help and ask them how you can best be of use? Perhaps (I don't know anything about your community so I'm really guessing…) you could contact the parson or some religious or charity organization which could help smooth out somehow the little girl's difficult road… Fndwheelie's advice is fine: the school will need information, for sure, as diabetes in children is challenging and very little known. I found useful material on the site 'Beyond Type 1', perhaps you might help the mother make sure that all the school staff know what the girl needs and what to do in an emergency. Are there any T1 association in or near your community? If so you could contact them and ask their advice as to how to support the family… I am supposing the girl is T1 because it's the most challenging condition (hypos, insulin, BS checks, timing and mode of injections and so much more of the sort). If the girl is actually T2, her condition may involve less practical problems, but help will still be most welcome! [/QUOTE]
