Hi all,
Our names are Tom and Georgie and our beautiful little daughter Scarlett was rushed to hospital 2 days before Christmas.
Sadly, but thankfully, she was diagnosed with Diabetes pretty quick and we just caught it before full Ketoacidosis hit. (think that's the correct spelling).
She was put on a drip and dosed with insulin and after a couple of days in hospital we managed to get home for Christmas day.
We've found the whole experience very difficult, daunting, heartbreaking, shocking, exhausting and just generally tiring. The only one who is doing great seems to be Scarlett. She's a little dainty softy but has not cried, complained or moaned once over her new regime, diet and continual injections. We're so proud of her!
We're now starting to learn how to get her BG levels to remain in the 4-7Mmols range. Her BG charts still looks like the Himalayas still after 2wks.
Any help, advice, tips or encouragement welcome here.
