I had to take DD (6) to A&E this morning for a matter which can be potentially serious in children with Type 1 Diabetes. We were sent by the GP.
During triage, I was explaining what had happened and why the diabetes affected it.
Triage Nurse - So, how is her diabetes managed? Just through diet.
Me - Um, no - she has Type 1 diabetes. She is on an insulin pump.
Triage Nurse - Oh - what is that?
