you should be very proud, what an amazing young lady you have there.

Sophs mam, Chloe is doing really well, started secondary school last week and a completly different girl. we decided before she started to use it as a fresh start, new friends, new school ect. She is blossoming and returned to the cheerful happy giggling non stop talking Chloe we all know and...

sorry I didnt mean to worry anyone, Sophsmam, Alot of children have them its very very common and has no long lasting effect- I cannot stress how common they are. But Chloe had a particularly bad reaction to them, antibotic cream and medicine on occassions to fight infections in skin. Her...

hello, My daughter was diagnosed last October aged 10. She had previously shown signs of starting puberty but I think hormones are only partly the cause. She had molluscum contagiosum, which are wart like lumps common in childhood but usually only a few lumps and last up to a year. Chloe had...

thanks for all the messages, Chloe slept from 10pm-ish till 7am getting up twice soI think she is relaxing a bit now. We are going to try a few different snacks at night, thanks for the protein tip! I do test her bloods during the night when needed, mainly when she has been on the low side all...

thank you all for the support and infomation. I have sent her to bed with levels at 8.8 and a carb snack, she has been having a bad time hating her diabetes over the last few months and this has just fueled her feelings. I have talked to her and showed her the comments on here so hopefully she...

Chloe has been for a group meeting with nurse and part of the discussion was about night time hypos. Nurse say to them- you`ve probably had hypos at night already, you probably have been unconcious for about an hour during the night, then gone high. It can happen quite often. This has resulted...

Glad to be of help. Its only the Sainsburys with a pharmacy instore, so ask to speak to someone who works on the pharmacy- communication not always the best around the store. hope more of you have taken advantage of the offer- we dont very often see things going for free.

I agree with Hana, a local group where you can meet people who know excatly what you are feeling and understand would benifit you. How are your close friends dealing with it? I think you should speak to your diabetic nurse or a GP and see what help you can get but please remember you are not...

Hello everyone, just to let you know Sainsburys Pharmacy are running a promotion with one touch ultra easy. You can get a free one touch ultra easy meter if you show evidence that you are using insulin, ie a prescription or your insulin pen itself. But you better hurry as at my pharmacy I have...

Thanks suzi, Chloe hasnt been on here in a very long time but I guess that shows she is coping alot better with it all and doesnt feel the need to seek out answers all the time,plus shes back to always being out doing things which is fantastic to see as she was frightened before to leave my...

Hi emma, sounds like you are all coping really well, good to hear your son is carrying on with what he enjoys as the one thing I have had to make sure Chloe knows is that having diabetes just means a bit of forward thinking and planning then life goes on as normal. She was diagnosed october 2008...

I think its brilliant, no need to worry that if you are ever really ill, the fact that you are diabetic wont be missed and it looks great as well. Not to everyones taste but life would be boring if we all acted and thought the same. What a great idea it was to have it done prehaps you`ll start a...

We keep thinking of you, hope it is all going ok and that the flight home tomorrow goes well, you are very brave to deal with it so well, my daughter was diagnosed at 10 so I could explain things to her, must be very difficult for you all. Good luck with getting things sorted.
