Diabetes - new : )

[tallyjade]

Hi my names tally ,
I've been diabetic since 2009 I'm now 12.
Ever since I was diagnosed I've never had a "stable" diabetic life .

I've been in and out of hospitals and nothing's ever worked , I've tried 4 injections a day / carb count/2 a day and on Monday I had to go into hospital as my bloods was 24 and my ketones 6.0 I had to stay in till Thursday and I can just never find anything to work !!

Hi @tallyjade

How horrible for,you - I hope you're feeling a lot better now.

Carb counting works if you have the right ratios because your basically trying to do the job your pancreas used to do. Have you ever considered a pump?

Ther are plenty of younger Type 1s here but if it's quiet, remember you can alsays post in the main Type 1 section too. People here are happy to help - or just to listen

Hi @tallyjade
I am sorry you are not able to get hold of the D -- it is hard when numbers don't get right.

are you speaking with your nurse at hospital on a regular basis ?
is your mum helping too ?

do keep talking !!

Hi Tally,

What type of food are you currently eating? I was the same as you when I was first diagnosed at 15 years old and found that eating healthy so eating lots of fish, vegetables and so on. Look up the carbohydrates in foods and see how your blood sugar levels are.

I hope this helps

Like @Llinz04 said, eating good foods helps control your glucose. Once your number level out and are more consistant, you can eat more of the foods you are used to. When I was diagnosed, I had to get salads and VERY healthy and picky foods. You probably don't need to go that far, but still, eating very healthy foods helps A LOT! Hope I can help.
