Hi Siobhan, welcome to the forum 🙂 What insulin regime is your daughter on? Is she coping OK with the tests and injections? You might be interested in getting a support and information pack for people with a recent diagnosis of type 1 diabetes from JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) - all free! Also, I would highly recommend getting a copy of Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young People by Ragnar Hanas - a really excellent and comprehensive guide to all aspects of living with Type 1.

In addition to our own parents section, you might like to take a look at the Children with Diabetes website, which has hundreds of families with a wide range of knowledge and experience.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and we will do our best to help! 🙂
