[QUOTE="doingitforbee, post: 1284235, member: 346202"] Hello My 4 year old daughter has very recently (7 days ago) been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She was taken to hospital with severe DNK but thankfully overcame this issue My problem now is since we have taken her home I cannot sleep at night anymore. Even thou we are doing everything we have been told ( 2 insulin injections in the morning and 2 in the evening) her blood sugar results range from 3 in the morning to 22 before bed , no ketones present as yet I am constantly checking her blood sugar every hour , I struggle to think or smile as I cannot begin to understand how this illness has took hold of my child or what will her future be like ... Basically I need to know what can i do to support my child , move on and live life again . At the moment I only feel sadness and absolute fear . Does every parent feel like this , are my fears silly . All I know about diabetes is from a crash course with my doctor and hours spent on google which resulted in terrifying accounts of severe hypos and something called "dead in the bed syndrome ... to be absolutely honest i am terrified I understand you can't tell the future, I just need honest answers and loads of success stories please All the best Kev Sent from my iPhone [/QUOTE]
