This page covers some of the most important things that have been discussed with you during your admission. This page aims to help you through the first few weeks after diagnosis and will also give you advice and guidance to help you to make the safe transition from hospital to home.
At first, the diagnosis of diabetes and learning the things you need to know about diabetes may seem overwhelming. Please talk to a member of the Diabetes Team; they have years of experience and during that time they have spoken to many families in similar situations. Do not be afraid to ask about something again if you do not understand it the first, second or third time.
Remember there will always be ongoing support and guidance and our strongest recommendation is for you to contact the Paediatric Diabetes Team (see contact numbers) if there is anything you need help with, regardless of how small or silly you think it is.
