So it's been a year and 3 months since diagnosis, it was a tough time for about 6 months for me personally. We almost lost her and with how everything happened so quickly I didn't process my feelings which don't worry I have now!
However my daughter is struggling with it, she hates that she has diabetes but does understand that she needs insulin to be healthy, there's only one other child in her school but he's a little younger than her. There's also a staff member who has type 1 as well and she's had little chats with her but it's not the same.
Basically what I'm asking is, are there any parents on here to a child of 8/9 who would like to have a pen pal? I think it'd really help her to be able to chat to someone who's in the same situation as her, I would do the group's the nurses host but due to covid obviously that's not feasible.
