DS 10 - recently diagnosed with Type One

[MrsCampbellBlack]

He was diagnosed on the 26th Feb and had a couple of days in hospital. He is generally coping extremely well - doing all his own monitoring and injections.

We are carb counting and finding this pretty hard going but less than a week in - please tell me it gets easier.

However, I am a total wreck - I literally can not stop crying and am just so upset. Please tell me this will pass. Am back at work today and everytime somebody asks me how I am, I end up being pretty brusque as just can't speak about it without crying.

Not sure why I'm posting really - just wondered if anyone in similar position or further along the process?

The libre just hasn't been tested on the under 18's but they are completely safe for children, in fact it was my pdsn who told us about them. They have had such a massive demand you have to go on a waiting list (took about 3 months for me) register your interest and they will email you when it's your turn! They are such a fantastic tool!

I'm on the waiting list too!

Cool - will go on the waiting list - thank you!

As we're still on injections and he seems to be having nice consistent levels at the moment, I'm going to hold off on night wakings for the time being I think unless he is high or low at bedtime.

Again - thank you everyone.
