[QUOTE="T1Dad, post: 1323086, member: 338326"] 4 months in now with a 5 year old...most helpful things we have done so far: 1) Met with other parents/children in the local area with T1D. Really helped my daughter see other kids in the same boat. You can contact your DSN to help with that. 2) Raised money for T1 research. Gave us a sense of togetherness. There's many ways to get involved. 3) Registered on here. You've done that already :) 4) Read the whole 'Think Like a Pancreas Book' 5) Sorted out the Basal Rate. Only got this right about a couple of weeks back after a lot of experimenting and changing doses. Doing this has allowed us to sleep through the whole night as long as the levels are good at bedtime. Phew!! 6) Freestyle Libre It's a massive life change for the whole family but one which will become part of you all. Don't compromise on any activities that he used to do before diagnosis. It's all possible albeit with some additional help and guidance. [/QUOTE]
