I would of suggested a&e if hands were clean when testing. My son was diagnosed at 5 (hes 6 now) and we checked 1 night because he was drinking loads and going to the toilet (his dad is Type 1 so we had a meter to hand) he was 26mmol. Straight in the car and straight to hospital and admitted...

I have spoken to everyone within his team and none seem concerned. To me i just think he shouldnt be eating more food than me? They said he has no weight problem and is a perfect weight for his height and if he is hungry, just to feed him. Hopefully it doesnt last to much longer

Should this happen if you are not diabetic though??

He was never like this before though :( i hope someone has had a similar experience and can shed some light

We are dealing with trying to control spikes inbetween meals at the moment (more so between breakfast and dinner) but other than that no. He does hypo dont get me wrong, but not everyday and not inbetween meals without me noticing. He does sometimes say he is hungry when hes low but usually its...

Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help. My 5 year old son was diagnosed type 1 at the beginning of feb. Since then he has been so hungry it gets him upset. His diabetes was caught extremely early he had no ketones as his dad is also type 1 and we noticed his thirst and toilet trips and checked...

Well its a tough one...i see what you are saying and usually i would of said the same and let him have his banana if i was givig the snack..especially if he was at home. But i guessed if he was 15.4 a banana is going to knock him to 20 and i dont want him that high in school when im not there...

Yeahh from your description you were easy to spot haha. Aww thank you..i agree but i an bias haha. Zara is a cutie pie she has lush big brown eyes! Im so pleased she came down. It can be such a worrying time. How is she today cough wise and numbers wise? Weve had a confusing day.. He woke...

My son was also diagnosed in Feb, he is 5 and had already started school in the september. It was very scary trusting someone else to look after him but my god they are fantastic! The nurse went down and i sat in while they were trained. And i went down the first week to watch then inject him...

Awww bless her! :( so have you corrected her then waitig to see if you need to correct her again? Are you letting her go to bed and just waking her up if she needs correcting? It makes them being poorly and a worrying time 10 times worse doesnt it :( I hope she feeks better and is ok during the...

Today has been a bad day.. He was high all last night but woke in normal range this morning (5.0) he had his usual breakfast and 0.5 units. Went to school and the school rang me at dinner concerned his blood sugar was 14. I knew this was going to happen from the last few days. I rang my nurse...

..another question.. If 2 items are both 30g of carbs...but one is 10g of which sugars and one is 20g of which sugars...the one that has 20g of which sugars is going to spike him higher inbetween meals surely?? So how does carb counting even ever work if you only look at the carb value and the...

Hes only had chocolate once and hes fine by tea but on the night hes high. Maybe the fat content? Ok..so with breakfast he had 1.5 shredded wheat. He had 0.5 units. He was 5.8. 2hrs later hes 16. So should i not let him have these anymore?? Because they are 1 of the few things that keep him...

Did i read somewhere that to much protein can damage your kidneys? And i always thought eating fats would block arteries? And with sugar levels being higher than normal it can fur your arteries so i was staying well clear of fat. Im open to trying anything aslong as he is in range. I also read...

The skydive was amazing!! One of the most amazing things i have ever done. I have been looking at different fundraising ideas of JDRF website today. Theres a childrens muddy race which Ryan would of loved to do but they have to be 7. Yeahh you would think so. I am hopefull that there is a...

Well Ryan didnt often get sweets from me (because i knew his dad give him far to many) so to even it out i would never give him much unless it was a special occasion or a 1 off. But he always has popcorn and either a few sweets or a little tub of ice cream at the cinema. He was looking around...

Quick question.. My son (he is 5) was diagnosed diabetic (type 1) in Feb. We were told most of his meal should he carbs and to stay away from fat. So i now dont give him butter i buy flora light etc. But what i have read above is the opposite? Is it different for type 2? Im totally confused :(

Yeah same here. I am on a diet anyway to be honest but i agree i was on the worry diet at first. The only problem i find is if i miss lunch when Ryan has it...and try to eat it later he will get upset because im eating and he cant. So now i dont even bother. Means sometimes im really hungry...

Is she on low doses of insulin? What kind of snacks do you give her? X

Yeahh he was 16. Soo frustrating. He stayed at his dads a few nights ago and he rang me and said Ryan felt sick and was hanging over the sink. I felt instantly sick myself because i have this massive worry about him catching sickness bugs now hes diabetic. I didnt sleep all night and when i...
