Help!!! My daughter was diagnosed with T1 diabeties in September. She has just had a brace fitted to her teeth and is finding it extremely painful. Can anyone suggest some diabetic friendly food and snacks which can be eaten as her food choices have now been reduced yet again!
 
perhaps a vita-miser will help? the pain normally subsides between adjustments, so hopefully she will be back on her normal diet soon
 
The pain will definitely subside in a few days - then come back with every adjustment during treatment.

My experience was that the first time was the most painful. Not sure why. Maybe the teeth get used to being moved?

It's not a fun experience, but boy was it worth it!
 
My youngest has just had his brace removed after wearing it for 18 months, the discomfort will ease of as your daughter gets use to it, try and persevere as it's well worth it in the long-term.
