No advice on stabbing I am afraid but I am so pleased that your daughter is picking up quickly.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when your consultant contacts your dr - hehe :D
 
Great to hear that you'd up aught ear is making progress and that you have done your first injection.

Also pleased that the Consultant is going to deal with the GP.
 
Sounding good 🙂 How is she with the injections? Not scared of them, I hope? The sooner she can pluck up courage to do them herself (under supervision) the better - unfortunately she has had to grow up fast in this respect and must now learn to look after herself and not resent the diabetes, so try not to make a big thing of it, just something that has to be looked after for a few minutes each day so she can stay healthy and get on with her life 🙂 It's great to hear that she has a good team behind you all, it really makes a big difference 🙂 What insulin have they put her on?
 
So glad to hear your daughter is doing well - thanks for posting 🙂

You'll get used to doing the jabs - because you HAVE to. Make the most of the medical team - sounds like you've got some good people there so put them to good use and keep asking as many questions as you need to. I don't know how I'd have got through the early months without our DSN! Then once you've been doing it for a while you will be able to start becoming more self-sufficient and just get on with it yourselves. You've got to be strong for your daughter - I'm sure you know that already - and show her that this isn't the end of the world, life will be a little different now but it still carries on and it shouldn't stop her from doing anything, you just have to be a little more organised. If YOU need to have a cry or a rant just try not to do it in front of her, this forum is rather good if you need a rant, lots of sympathetic people who know exactly how it feels because they've all had the same sorts of feelings and problems too!

Oh dear I sound like I'm giving you a lecture a bit there... 😱 So I'll stop and just wish you as a family all the best again, glad things are improving 🙂

And @Lynn Davies took the words right out of my mouth (or fingers 🙄) - I'd like to be a fly on the wall too when your consultant speaks to your GP, in fact I think there might be an extremely fly-infested wall somewhere... 😱 :D
 
Wishing you well. It certainly sounds as if you have a good team around you. Use the support available and together with the rest of the family you will learn a lot.

Keep us informed with your daughters progress
