Hi guys thanks for all the advice it’s helped loads, I am speaking to his DN tomorrow to discuss, I am going to look into him doing his PADI here in the UK xx

Thanks guys he did a taster session last year and was very keen to do this. He has a skiing trip booked with school for February (I’m terrified) but think it is so important that he fits in and feels normal his emotions are all over the place and he just wants to be in his words normal. I will...

Hi Just wondering if anyone as T1 has been scuba diving? My son is 12 and very sporty and as his mum I am trying to make sure that his T1 does not stop him doing anything. Earlier this year he wanted to do his PADI but we said let’s wait till we go to Jamaica. Health & holiday insurance...

That's a great idea thank you x

Run with that I have also told my boy he is special am hoping as he gets older his diabetes just fits in with his life and isn't such a big thing, even though it is.

Hi Initially they were curious about his diabetes, and majority have been supportive, my son when he went back to school which was a week after he was diagnosed did a talk to the class on what it was and if the teacher or TA wasn't around and they seen certain symptoms he explained what they...

Last night my little boy told me he doesn't fit in anymore, so I asked what he meant by this he said all the children in his class are like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle that fit together only he's different now and no longer fits since he's been diagnosed with diabetes. I cannot tell you how...

Just to let you know his sugars came down steadily and he is at 7 this morning- thanks for tips and comments.
