Newbie here
Hi everyone, I am new here. My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 last November (on World Diabetes Day can you believe ) when she was 2 1/2 yo.

At the time our 4th child was only 3 weeks old so life was kinda hectic.

Now diabetes is just part of life, although a part we could quite happily do without.

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello
