[QUOTE="Ellie's mum, post: 1311248, member: 276676"] Hi there! Our daughter Ellie is 10 and it will be 9 months this week since diagnosis (my god that has gone quick!). We took Ellie to the doctors on a Monday night with similar symptoms, Tuesday morning she had blood test, 8am Wednesday morning she was been called to the children's ward at our local hospital to confirm it was diabetes [emoji53]. The nurses were shocked as to how 'well' Ellie seemed as her blood levels were dangerously high, Ellie was even complaining to the nurses that she was missing out on being at school [emoji23] Ellie took the diagnosis well and started doing her own insulin and blood test straight away, the only time we're allowed to do it is if she needs correcting in the night! It sounds to me like you've got off to a great start and school is being very supportive. If you have any questions you would like to ask the please feel free. This forum has helped me so much and hopefully it can do the same for you [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
