Yes.. I can see how you would hope it was the meter. OMG....Well if it is...you are catching it earlier than you would if your other daughter didn't have it. My son was just diagnosed and because of him I am watching his brother closer. Worried me when he wanted water at bedtime last night. I thought...why is he so thirsty. I thought it wasn't hereditary? Am I wrong in this? My family had no one w/it until 3 months prior to my son's diagnosis....my sisters daughter was diagnosed. So...like you. I worry if it is inevitable.

I'm so sorry. I hope that meter is busted too. Keep us posted. Thinking about you.

We've been checking for the signs for quite a while now and today seemed to be the day.
She's been tired, wetting her pants lately and has dry skin. Sure enough the blood test results are high.

We got her admitted to Children's Hospital today - they confirmed type 1. Her a1c is over 10. Now for looking to make the best of it - hopefully she'll feel much better soon.

We truly thank you and appreciate your thoughts.

Oh goodness. In a way I'm sorry to hear this, but in another way you have to be positive

1. at least you aren't new to this
2. The two of them can grow up together with this, its not like one will not understand what the other is going through and they wont feel so alone
3. At least you caught it now instead of tomorrow or even weeks later when things could get worse

I'm here if you need someone to listen :)

Your girls are beautiful. Sorry to hear of this diagnosis. Don't get lost in parental guilt. It doesn't help anyone. You will take good care of her and she will be fine
