Thank you for all your answers, and I will pass on all relevant information to my sister. My niece does give herself injections, sometimes 4 a day, and usually without complaining too much, but it is a constant worry for my sister if she is being told wrong readings, etc, and therefore is not having the adequate amount of medications. She eats a fairly limited diet, but it is high on carbohydrates because that is what she likes and chooses. The diabetes is a big problem but together with the dyslexia it is a major factor for a 13 year old to adapt to.
