Alice had her first consultants appointment today on the phone. Got results of all her blood checks done when admitted to hospital. Glad to find out her kidneys are fine, thyroid good and she is not pregnant!
Type 1 confirmed GAD was 'impressively high' over 1000 apparently when would normally be in single figures (I think).
Alice still not injecting, but doing all her own carb counting and dose calculating. On the libre her current calculated Hba1c is 40.
She had a big wobble emotionally the other day as she went to a 16 th birthday picnic. Picnics not a great start as first thing to do on your own so she didnt eat anything. Also she hadn't told any of her friends apart from one who was diagnosed type 1 last year. She was worried everyone would treat her differently. It turns out her type 1 friend was there and asked how she was doing, so now everyone knows and that is out of the way. She seems to be getting worse with the needles,not better, but I'm sure we will get there on the end.
Sorry for long waffle, thanks for being there all.
