Hi, I have a gorgeous 16 year old daughter who has recently diagnosed with Type1 diabetes. She has just gone back to boarding school and is finding it hard to settle back in. BGL's have been in hypo then was adjusted now is higher - needless to say she is extremely upset and fustrated. We have a really great family and friends network and she still wants to be at her amazing school.
Can anyone help with some ideas as to how I can settle her. She worries that no one understands except her family. We have a great support network at the school but she is feeling all alone (and I am beside myself having her away from my constant supervision!!)
From her point of view she is really hating her illness and I can really understand this as I hate it too and I am not the one with it!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I hope this helps!
