I think she is old enough to understand the important points but young enough that in time she will not remember life before D and therefore will probably adjust to diet juices and such more easily...if she was on full sugar varieties before of course. Advice...try involve her with all stages. Make it into a game. You will need to weigh her food to give her insulin so why not get her to put the food on the scales? Give her a sticker chart to learn which foods need insulin and which don't? Make a HUGE deal of the fact that she will now have a section of the fridge ALL FOR HER. That is AMAZING when you are 6.</p></blockquote><p></p>
