Screening for type 1 diabetes: We now have a new forum section which is for parents who, after having their child screened for type 1, have received a positive result that at some stage their child will be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Where possible, please do offer your support and experiences of having a child diagnosed. https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/forums/screening-for-type-1-community-chat.59/

Big milestone here...my son did his insulin injection all by himself this evening for the very first time!
I really am proud of him and thought I'd share it with you all.

Aah - bless his cotton socks! I dont blame you for being very proud - I hope he is proud of himself and is encouraged to do more! Maybe even a little treat!🙂Bev
What a superstar!!! Way braver than I was at his age! (I think I was at least 11 before I'd do my own jabs, how lazy lol!) What a brave little guy, bless him! 🙂
Aw that's fantastic, you must be very very proud of him. My little boy is 8 too and so can imagine what a big deal this is for you both.....well done x
Congratulations! My 6-year-old daughter now refuses to do her own injections, but she was doing them regularly for about two weeks recently. It's amazing how brave these little ones can be.
