    Hi there

    my daughter was 11 and a half when she was diagnosed with diabetes type 1.

    yes it was very hard at first and she still resents it now. i think diabetes and autism are linked with a low immune system.

    my daughter is a bit older and uderstands a bit more now and other times she doesnt and refuses to eat because she says her sense of smell has been enheightened greatly because of what she is taking. but nobody believes this and this is very frustrating.

    feel free to contact me here.

    i can sympathise and understand having someonelse who understands really does help.
