My daughter is the same age and just diagnosed a month ago. She has the same behaviors and meltdowns. I’m right there with you.
Hey, Divina. I just joined the forum. My daughter was diagnosed 5.8.18 and we’re still adjusting. She’ll be eight soon and it’s a struggle.
How’s your daughter doing now? Does she have a cgm? The cgm changed our lives. I wish you the very best.

hi. My now 10yo daughter was diagnosed 03-09-18. We are almost at a year, sounds like we could almost be talking about the same child. My daughter was in ballet, loved dancing around the house, loved school, she wants none of it, except the school, but won’t partake in any extra activities. She joined band and quit, said it was too much stress and an extra finger stick so not worth it. She gets so upset when she goes high. Throws things, curses, says she wants to die. I paid for summer camp last year, she wouldn’t go. Tried therapy, made her go, couldn’t make her talk… says she is not interested in reading about it, talking about it or making friends with it. She loves drawing, painting, arts and crafts. Got her Dexcom G6, she won’t try it. Says not interested in technology. She had a good friend who ended up bullying her to the point where we switched schools and at least now she is back to enjoying school. I ask if I can help, can I mix insulin for you, test for you, inject for you, etc… it is all NO. I too am so emotional and overwhelmed. My only pointer is one day at a time and my faith, I do believe that “if HE brings you to it, HE will bring you through it.” sometimes that is all that I have. I can tell you there has not been 1 day in the past 363 days since diagnoses, that I have not cried. Either from what I am experiencing, my daughter or reading other stories. I try my best to do my crying in private. I am sure my husband and daughter would be shocked to know that I cry every day, but I do. Does it help? I don’t know. Hugs to you and your family.
