Thank you so much xx

Hi all, does anyone know where or who I can contact to address my concerns regarding my sons treatment and mine whilst he has been at secondary school with type 1? I won't bore you with the details as we could be a while! It's gone beyond the headmaster . Any suggestions will be received...

So true, thanks

I have reported all faults via phone call, they log reports. Thanks for the advice I will report to MHRA.

Thanks that could be a reason but he doesn't often have readings below 6-7 and generally when he has he's had a hypo not long after. I think he tends to keep them above target to prevent hypo's. He does get cramps sometimes but will ask him if it's when his headaches are bad. Going to ring...

My son is 6mths into using the insight pump. Luckily the pump settings are locked sercurely on his and so far it's been the bg meter that's failed him. A) it's slower than any meter he has had before. b) he is on his 3rd replacement meter which is still in its box as he has lost all...

Thanks all for your advice, suggestions. He's a known suspect of making out his bloods are better than they are. Keep giving him the benefit of the doubt. Am going to have a look through his meter today.

Thanks, makes sense if stress is a factor as the last 6 mths seem to have been the most difficult for him. He's 15 1/2 so I've had to take a bit of a back seat but I have been checking in with him daily and offering support and opportunity to talk. Its difficult seeing him suffer.

Hi, I'm relatively new on here, I'm mum to a teenager with type 1. He's suffering from headaches and also struggles to get to sleep. He says his bloods are fine. He's been getting bad headaches on and off for over a month. Dr and diabetes nurse are aware also and advised keeping a diary of...

This forum has been such a much needed emotional help for me as a mum of a type 1 teenager. Have not had any support emotionally before discovering diabetes.co.uk. Thank you.
