In those days, there was no way to test blood sugars, all we could do was twice daily urine tests, to see if blood sugar was over 10 and had passed into urine.  I'm still here, alive and well, eyesight and nerves etc all fine, with two adult healthy children to prove that T1s can do all the things that everyone else does.  (OK, luckily I never wanted to be an astronaut or go into the military).  You don't have to be perfect to lead a healthy and happy life.  Things will get easier as you and she learn how to deal with diabetes. Also, modern treatment methods get better all the time. Good luck.ps how high is high?</blockquote>
