Hi Marti, welcome to the forum🙂 We have many members here who are, or have been, where you are now - it will get better. The good news is that your daughter has reacted so well and is coping with the injections, and that is no doubt because of the hard work and dedication of her mum, so be proud of what you have achieved! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away - no question is considered 'silly' here, so don't be afraid to ask if you think it will help you.🙂

Hi Marti, welcome to the forum. I can't begin to imagine how it feels to have a young child suffering from Diabetes, but there are plenty of members who know, i'm sure they'll be happy to lend you an ear, a shoulder or a hug, whatever it may be that you need. Glad to hear your daughter is coping with her new condition well.
