Hi, I'm 3 years old and my parents need help!

[Frank Budd]

Hi, I was diagnosed T1D aged two, and my parents are doing pretty well, but only just about coping. Any other parents out there with three year olds with T1 diabetes? 🙂

Hi Frank, welcome to the forum🙂 Wow, you've got great computer skills for a 3 year old!🙂 There are lots of very knowledgeable parents here so I'm sure they can help your parents out with anything that might be worrying them - we'll get them sorted for you!

Here's an excellent book I always recommend, that they might like to read - even I found it brilliant and I'm 51!

Ragnar Hanas' Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (amazon link). You might be able to get a copy from your library.

Thanks for the welcome, this website looks like a wonderful resource, so thanks everyone. Our wonderful diabetes specialist nurse pointed us at this helpful and informative book straight away, so we've had a copy for about a year now!

Hi am64, yes my dad forces me to listen to his rubbish music. Maybe I'm named after Zappa, or maybe it's Frank Black, but they say they just like the name.
