Hi, My 11 year old little girl was diagnosed with Type 1 yesterday. She's just had her 3rd insulin and was so brave I could have wept. We had no idea (although my husband has said that I 'googled' the condition the previous night), but it was such a shock - just didn't think it could happen to us.
I'm wondering if there are any little girls of a similar age out there who could give her a bit of a boost and let her know, it's cool, we're going be alright you know....
She's just sat her 11+ exams so obviously had bits happening all through them and the build up that were just unexplained. We've been off school the last couple of days due to snow, so think she may be going back to school Monday and unsure as to if there are any other children (non as far as we know) in her school who are diabetic also. Still have the nurse visiting us morning and evening until she masters the pen herself.
Wow - I'm still in shock I think and looking for a bit of support for her. Hope someone out there knows how I'm feeling and can let Niamh (and me!) know they've been where we are now.
Thanks :wink:
