Hi

I'm new to the site, just want to say hello and make a wish that one day a cure will be found for diabetes to free our poor innocent children and any others who have it of this condition. My daughter who is 11 years old was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 on march 1st this year. It has been a real struggle coming to terms with it and still is.

The constant worry of the what if. I have been reading lots about diabetes and research and have come across some supplements niacin (vitamin B3), chromium, vitamin D, i am the sort of person who always looks at natural remedies to assist with any health problem. I just want to know if any of you give your children any of the supplements or other supplements, what changes since giving them and the doses you give.

My daughter uses Glargine once a day, just reduced to 4u last night and humalog which we carb count with meals.She is i believe going through the honeymoon period.
