I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but feeling very down. My 4 year old daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and has had for nearly 3 years. She's on insulin now and has 4+ injections each day. Its been a real struggle and even after all this time we still havent been able to get her levels steady. The diabetes nurses have now pushed for her to have an insulin pump and she's due to have it a week on Monday. I am so scared and worried about it I cant think about anything else. I know the insulin pump is a good thing. She is being a nightmare with her injections at the moment and hates having them in her bottom which is where she'll wear her pump. I just dont know how to get her to accept it. I just feel like the worlds worst mummy as I'm constantly arguing with her about having her injections to the point where we're both in tears. She hates having them which I understand and I hate doing them but weve got no choice. I just feel so sorry for her and helpless.
Sorry if none of this makes sense. I'm not even sure why I'm posting, just want some reassuring that its going to be ok.
