I was diagnosed as T1, DD2 was diagnosed T1 5 days later so I can more than relate to what you are going through but can I just say this... Don't try to change too much. Just adapt to the circumstances. Continue to give your daughter the freedom she had before. Let her go home before you. Leave her at home whilst you nip to the shops or whatever. I am a single mum too. I have to work and if I couldn't leave my kids on their own I'd be royally screwed. My girl was diagnosed just before her 11th birthday and I do nothing for her except order her prescriptions. She could probably do that too but I have to order mine at the same time so meh! The more freedom you give her now, the more you can let go and be your own person instead of mum 24/7. Plus, it will make her more independent in the future. Don't let her become reliant on you. It sounds harsh, I know. Don't make it harder than it has to be and be kind to yourself!</blockquote>
