Hi just watching this morning & there is going to be a 7 year old on today talking about her type one diabetes, am going to record for my daughter who is also 7 to watch when she gets home, just thought that I would let people know incase anyone wanted to watch it 🙂
 
Hiya,

She looks like a little cutie and very smilie, Im sure she will talk well about it!

thanks for letting us know what time ...time for me to get washing out aswell !!! 🙂
 
BUMP! 🙂 Its on in ten mins or so!
 
Isnt she a lovely little girl! A shame they didnt show her pump, but perhaps she wasnt comfortable to do so.

Her mum spoke very well too. And of course, you have got to love the Scoffield!
 
Thought it was done well and handled very sensitively. Such a sweet little girl, hope she gets over her negative feelings towards her diabetes.
 
very well done to Neave and her mum x and phil schofield was great with saying TYPE ONE all the time bless her i want the book ...i think one should be sent to evry school library in the country !🙂
 
Well done all round especially to neive what a bonny little girl she is, must be so awful for her and the book what a great idea xx
 
Well I watched & cried, brought back so many memories that u just dont have time to deal with at the time of diagnosis but just hide under the carpet, she is a very brave girl, wish her all the luck in the world & I also want to buy 2 books one for my kids & one for the school library x
 
I missed it. Does anyone have a link to watch it? Thanks. 🙂Bev

Not entirely sure Bev (shame- you would have loved it!) but have a look at ITV Player maybe they will have the clip there?

Also, I know the do a weekend "This Morning" which is clips from the week, I think it is a saturday, we will have to keep our eyes peeled to see if it is repeated then.

xx
 
Thanks for the link, what a sweet little girl and how sad that it made her so unhappy :( Isn't 20 tests a day rather a lot? That's not a criticism at all - I know that children need tests for a lot more reasons than me as an adult. I think the most tests I've done in a day is 9.

Dr Chris was naughty again to attribute Type 2 to 'lifestyle' without qualifying that statement.

I did think that was rather alot, weve done 20 a few times but those are on days when we are at soft place centre or a birthday etc.. where there is lots of excitement present, in those circumstances we have to test them loads, every 20 minutes (for the 3 yr old) on some occasions, but in every day life we test between 8-12 times i suppose, and for the older one between 6-10. Maybe they were giving the worse case scenario re testing? x
 
graham does around 10 -15 especially on PE days
