Hi my names Suzi and i'm the mother of a 9year old type 1 diabetic son who also has Coliac Disease. For those unaware what Coliac Disease is, its an intolerance to gluten found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Think of all your carbs at meal/snack time that help you manage your diabetic conrol and take away bread, pasta, biscuits, gravy mixes, some brands of crisps,wafers, cones ect. And welcome to our world! its not all doom and gloom, there are now some really good ,tasty alternatives out there amongst all the card board tasting ones!
Anyway i'd love to hear from anyone really, i've helped Andrew manage his diabetes since 2/2/06, he is now giving himself (so very proud of him) 3 injections a day, blood sugars not great at the minute, but just increased his insulins again, so fingers crossed.
He takes 30units Insumane 15 combi, 4-9units humalog and 9units Lantus daily. Hes my little champ, don't think i could manage so well. This week he had real issues with injecting, does it in his tummy, hates doing thighs as his thin, but i know how important it is to alternate injection sights, any where else suitable?
Love to hear from anyone whos been there done that, or has some really good gluten free /low sugar recipes. SUZI xoxo
