I'm not 100% sure where to post this. Hope this is ok. 

Does any odd have any experience with their toddler being diagnosed with diabetes?

    Sorry, no direct experience. I know that my cousin was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 18 months old though. Type 2 is totally different though. Which type were you told? (And if it helps, said cousin is now 36 years old and thriving. She had an insulin pump implanted years ago.)

    My BIL was when he was 8 mo.  If you would like, PM me with any questions and I can ask MIL about her experiences.

    Thanks ladies. We haven't gotten the official diagnosis yet, waiting on some tests. It's all a little nerve wracking.

    Hope everything is OK.  typeonenation.org is a great site, run by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, where you can talk to other parents who are going through this/have been through it already.  There's a lot of support on this site.  And info on local T1 groups.  We got a lot of reassurance and good info there when my husband was diagnosed (at 30 years old!).
