This is a thread the one of the ladies off the other forum put on so i just copied it for you - for a bit of background! :D

Heidi, have you had a look at it yet? 🙂 Bev


I keep posting this link so thought I would start a new thread on it so people can find this link.

I am one of the original members of the UK Children with Diabetes Advocacy Group. We all have children with type 1. There is an email support group which is phenominal. It is certainly my lifeline.

We have a website which has been written by parents for parents. It tells you the things that the medical experts don't tell you ie DLA, cinema card passes, the NICE guidelines, glucagon in schools, pumps etc etc. It also has lots of care plans which can be used for schools etc. All schools should have a details care plan for your child.

The website is www.childrenwithdiabetesuk.org

Take a look and if you want to ask me any questions whatsoever feel free.

If you want to know a bit more about me then my daughter's story is on another website www.hi-fund.org under Children's Stories under Jessica. She is nearly 9 so the story needs a bit of an update.
