This happened to my daughter a few months ago. It was a hypoglycaemic seizure and possibly one of the most frightening experience s of my life. She is four and did exactly as you describe, except she was kind of roaring instead of screaming. Completely unresponsive. Managed to do a blood test...

Hi. My daughter is 4 and we have been diagnosed for a year now. She still shows no real signs of lows and it can be really scary and also frustrating at times as I find myself testing a lot more on some days, particularly when she's very active. We have also hit the 2's without any warning, and...

I guess its a long road and I know i still have so much to learn and many bumpy times ahead. I find it exhausting at times so I can't begin to imagine what its like with two. I see that you use the pump now. Has that made things much easier for your children? Thank you for your advice.....i'm...

Ah, ok, thank you. I will definitely give it a try as she really does love her weetabix but i hate seeing her feeling so rotten mid morning when her BG is so high (it can often be in the high teens before it drops before lunch). Yes, i find it very difficult managing the whole day on one dose...

Thank you both. I will definitely look at porridge. leggot - Lucy is always begging me for bananas but in the past i found they shot her levels up really high (i didnt realise how much sugar they contained!). I'm sure she would love a bit on her weetabix, but how do they slow the absorption...

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about low carb/low sugar breakfast cereals? Lucy has always eaten 1 and half weetabix for breakfast but this makes her levels shoot up really high and stay high for a good part of the morning. This isnt too much of a problem during the school term...

Last wednesday, my little T1 4 year old, Lucy, came down with a vomiting bug that has been doing the rounds locally. She was quite sick and I spoke to her consultant who advised me to bring her in to the hospital so she could be put on a drip for the night to keep her safe (she couldnt tolerate...

Well...finally no ketones this morning, hurray! Lucy has definitely been a bit brighter today and no high temps, although we are still running high BG's even with the extra insulin but hopefully this will settle down before she goes back to school next week! Thanks for all your advice. I'm...

She always has a starchy snack and a glass of milk with added cornflour at 19.30, her bedtime as we normally struggle to keep her levels up overnight (she had a hypo fit in the early hours in November - most frightening experience of my life!). Perhaps she doesnt need this much at the moment...

Hi. My 4 year old was diagnosed with T1 last April, and in the 9 months that have passed we have been fortunate that she hasnt really been unwell with colds, viruses etc. However, this week she has come down with a really bad cold and temperature and as a result her BG is all over the place...
