Diabetes type 1

Hello

Just joined here. i was just wondering wether there is any parent out there with an autistic child that also has type 1 diabetes like my daughter. She was diagnosed last may and totally out of the blue. would be nice to share ideas or just to know there is some else who understands

Thank you

  • I have an autistic wife who has type 1 diabetes?  Hypo's?  Casualty visits in the early hours of the morning?  Sudden collapses roaring drunk?

    Yep. I know.  I'm on the spectrum too and I married it.  In fact, it woke me up last night, yet again.  Her hair matted into dreadlocks by the sweat from her adrenalin going off, bedsheets sodden on her side? 

    Anything you'd like to ask her?

    Paul.
