Hi there Rox000 - I'm not T1 myself, but from my reading, I've concluded these sick day rules seem to be very helpful, as a bit of a guide. http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk/Se...Sick Day Rules for Type 1 Diabetes Oct 16.pdf

Fingers crossed for you that your daughter doesn't follow her carer with the bug.
