From the begining

So the blog…..its new and its only 5 months late.

5 months ago our lives were turned upside down. A visit to A&E for a poorly knee resulted in my little boy William being hospitalised and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. At just two years old, and no family history, this was an enormous shock to me and the whole family.

As any parent with T1D (Type 1 Diabetic) knows there is no time to adjust, let things sink in, talk things through, wait for a letter in the post. Its admission into hospital at that moment in time with insulin therapy starting at the same time too.

Two months on, we’re all starting to get our heads around managing Will’s diabetes. At the time of diagnosis having to inject him at least four times a day and regularly monitoring his blood sugars seemed like a daunting, difficult task. However, he has taken it in his stride and makes looking after him easy. I can’t even begin to describe how well he has adapted to life as a diabetic.
