Hi
We are 3months in now. We are settling into our new routines. We had a skiing holiday and that was a big turning point for us all. I decided we would get on with it! We stopped talking about diabetes constantly and had some fun. It was just what the whole family needed. My daughter is having a few "it's not fair" moments but on the whole she is doing great. It's not easy but we don't have a choice. One day at a time xx I did feel lonely too it's as if nobody really understands xx stay positive and your daughter will be too xx
