[QUOTE="Niamh's Mum, post: 114986, member: 24269"] Hi, Thanks for your support - it did go ok after all! This morning was fine, but when we came home from school this evening and she wanted to have something to eat straight away, I suggested having her insulin a little earlier and then having dinner. My husband wasn't home to comfort her whilst I gave the insulin and it's the first little 'wobble' I've seen from her. Really still very brave, and once it was over, she was great again. Had a word with my hubby and suggested he makes arrangements to finish work a little earlier until we're further into our routine. Niamh's appetite is insatiable at the moment, I've never known her to eat so much. Once she's had her dinner, is it ok for her to have more to eat ie. toast, sugar free jelly etc? I'm really quite in the dark until I see my DN on Wednesday morning and the Dietician next week. Not sure if I'm doing right or wrong by letting (or not letting her) have more snacks (even though I think they may be ok snacks!). It's a minefield isn't it? We found the school really helpful this morning. Her Teacher's dad is diabetic, so that was something. The Headteacher was great and said he will put a healthcare plan in place over the next week or so. He also rang the DN and introduced himself and they're making arrangements for her to call into school. Thanks again for all your support at what has been a really scary, daunting new experience for all of us in our family. I will keep you up to date on how our journey's going....... Gayle X [/QUOTE]
