My then 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last May. It was a total shock and out the blue.
The diabetic team at the Royal hospital for Children were amazing.
Every single one that we came into contact with has been amazing.
They taught us very quickly and very efficiently how to deal with this horrid disease that would be lifelong.
From the dieticians to nurse specialists they were all amazing, exceptionally good at their job, not just with their fountain of knowledge but also their care and compassion.
My daughter is now stopping her five daily injections and going on to a insulin pump.
This in turn meant more training and knowledge building. This was done by the diabetic specialist nurse Lynne who was fantastic at explaining this and demonstrating this new piece of technology to us and our daughter.
I felt overwhelmed with all this new info and piece of kit, Lynne helped to keep us calm and alleviate our fears whilst teaching us.
The diabetic specialist nurses are all amazing and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.
