Thank you. Reassuring to know. Never had a problem before

Just had an incident with my son. He said his thigh felt too tender to do injections in. He managed to get needle half way in and pressed the button but it has left a raised white lump on his leg and was bleeding slightly. He’s worried now that the insulin is sitting under his skin instead of...

Spoke to his nurse last night. Hes reluctant to change the lantus as it seems to ve working well for him. I think we've just generally had a bad week coming to trems with things. Hes now saying he cant swim cos he feels too ill. The nurse said all these feelings are perfectly normal in first few...

We sang i know a song that gets on your nerves about 6 times last night but at least he laughed this time[emoji23][emoji23]

I think you're right. Held thinking too much about it

We are using the 4mm but it's the lantus injection in the evening that's caused the fear. Unfortunately he's all skin and bones so not much in the way of fat to inject in to

We are going to speak to Them today x

He swam at 12pm for an hour but was late having breakfast (10.30) and he had 2 biscuits before he went into the pool. When he came out he tested and was 6.3 and he felt fine. It was approx 25 mins later as we were leaving he developed severe stomach cramps and went to the toilet. He tested in...

Day 21 of my son being diagnosed as type 1 diabetic and with doctors consent he tried his first swim session since diagnosis. All good until we were leaving then within seconds he was unresponsive on the floor. Even after glycogel given still unresponsive. My first ever phone call to 999. Then...
