We all over-react, so don't worry about that. You have enough to worry about. My son was diagnosed at 2 and it was very hard to keep him in his goal range, as we weren't comfortable with the carb counting, exercise, and making any changes ourselves (which we are now, though we still end to be cautious and it has been 3 years).

Give yourself a break first. After you have done that, contact the JDRF (www.jdrf.org) who are awesome, have support meetings which are really helpful, especially in the beginning, can put you in touch with someone who has been through it with their child, and let you know you aren't alone. Plus everything there is free.

Then, we all worry more about the lows because they hold a more immediate danger. They can happen fast, and with a very young child are unpredictable. But the highs are scary when they aren't controlled too. For the first few weeks (or months) don't hesitate to call her endocrinologist for help and guidance. That is what they are there for, and they want your child (and her family) to be as healthy as possible. We faxed in a list of BG, insulin amounts given and what he ate and what exercise he did everyday for the first couple of weeks.

In the beginning, even the doctors are trying to figure out what works for the child, and the more info they have, the better assessment they can give. So make sure you are keeping track of everything. You will begin to see patterns and that will help you figure out when things need to change. And they will change. My son's doc said that glucose control is an art, not a science because a child's insulin requirements change all the time.
