40. I've met families with children diagnosed as infants...
and toddlers. I can't even imagine trying to manage that, when they can't tell you that they are having an insulin reaction, not to mention the finger pricks and shots. (I remember sadly looking at how tiny my just-turned-four year old daughter's fingers were and trying to find enough fat to pinch up for the injections.)

I'm sorry to hear about your niece. The fact that she is active is good for her long-term health. Hopefully, she will be able to manage her diabetes well and stay healthy.

:hi:
