My oldest son was diagnosed at 14 months in 1977 when there was no fingerstick BG test. We had to wring out the diaper to check his urine spill rate. We tried multiple injections and found it was the only viable solution for a child who could not tell us his BG was low. He is 30 years old now, been on a pump for 2 years and still struggles with his BG control even though the pump has helped tremendously. His eyes needed laser and he is having surgery (4th) in 2 days for detached retina and cataract. It is sad, because it has devastated his life (The diabetes that is) I understand your troubles and hope the best for your girl!
