[QUOTE="Ellie's mum, post: 1322178, member: 276676"] Ellie has been diagnosed for 9 months so we're still quite new to it all compared to some. I use to spend night after night reading up on things and to be honest it didn't do me any favours, it just sent my head round in circles. Ellie was always hungry in between meals and we found that cheese and cucumber soon became her 'free snacks'. Her snacking has calmed down over the months, we now have 5 cucumbers a week instead of several a day [emoji23] We were lucky that school already had 1 diabetic child so they new how to help with injections, blood checks, spotting the signs of hypos etc. Since Ellie was diagnosed 2 more children have been diagnosed. 4 children in 1 school with type 1 diabetes, they certainly keep the medical lady on her toes! This forum has been amazing for any questions I've had or help I've needed with anything. Feel free to ask any questions you have as I'm sure one of us will be able to help you out Go easy on yourself and take it one day at a time x [/QUOTE]
