Hi Ellies Mom. Sorry to hear the news, but hey, it aint all bad. It coulda been somethin alot worse.

Anyhoo, I was diagnosed at 4yrs old and I wont lie to you, my mum found it tough. This was back in the stone age (1980 to be exact!) and technology has come a long way since then. Regular glucose tests will eventually show a pattern to your kids levels and hopefully things will et easier over time. Making screwups every now and then will happen but life goes on and she'll be no different to other kids as she gets older. Been there, done that as they say. Good luck.
