[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 658005, member: 17713"] Hi J's mum Can you confirm if your son's readings are within 5-8 during these times of change? I'm not a mum.. I'm a T1 though. I'm thinking that your son is still very new to this diagnosis and that levels may still be fluctuating and also that outwardly that your son may seem to be coping brilliantly but inwardly he will be feeling very different to everyone around him. If its possible, (i know some hospitals are fantastic with this) see if they organise any meet ups for diabetic children. I know of one hospital that even arranges overnight camps for diabetic youngsters. It is really hard for a youngster to accept and although outwardly seeming as if they are doing well.. Inside their emotions are thinking "why me" and they have no one else to really appreciate what they really have to do. I'm sure some parents will be along with some advice. I'm hoping my answering will bump you up the list for them to answer. [/QUOTE]
