Hi Just wanted to ask about blousing MDI (fiasp) for spaghetti. Whenever we bolus straight up my son goes low. Would I be best blousing 50 percent before meal and then the rest an hour later or maybe two hours later? It’s spaghetti and meatballs with a homemade tomato sauce if that helps. I...

lunchtime he spikes really high and comes down himself without a correction mostly then 4-5pm hypos. His baseline is correct as we had it lower before and he was waking up to high every morning. It’s the dreaded honeymoon period. The endo says it’s down to school being more activity and to...

Real random question But pastries! Do they show up immediately in blood sugars or are they like bread and take a while to show? I’m not sure how to bolus one if I do it before or half and half like a pasta/pizza? my 7 year old son is MDI. He always tanks into a hypo after school, so I’m not...

I’m so sorry to hear that about your mum. It’s awful she was told that, I thought the outdated outcomes would have died off long before, I know they’re still lurking on the internet in places and I avoid google like the plague! it’s amazing what outcomes it is now compared to 40/50 years ago. I...

Just did his Tresiba, I had a moment again where I was like what am I doing but told my brain just take it out this is the easiest part and it came out beautifully no bruising or bleeding and no wobbling. So I can do this and I feel a lot happier especially as I managed it tonight so tomorrow I...

Oh no I totally get what you mean, I’d really like for him to do it and I’d be happy as Larry to sit there and say well done at each part but he is a young seven. I think give us till autumn and we’ll be at that stage where he’s ready.

Yes he does, there’s a kid at school with T1D and theyre pretty close and he’s been really helpful sharing stories about dexcom applications to my son! His older cousin has also just been diagnosed with T1D too. If his cousin a 14 year old boy can inject himself then I should be able to inject...

Yes we pinch when doing the injection and that works great. I didn’t know the bruises were caused by that, I thought it was the way I was pulling out fast and hurting him that’s quite interesting. We use a new needle every single time. I know if I told him to inject he’d refuse and end up in...

He won’t inject himself yet, he’s still funny about the idea of it. He will do his own lancet and take his glucose number happily but that’s as far as we’ve got! He also doesn’t let my husband do his injections which isn’t helping matters. I think you’re right it’s the backlash I’ve been...

Covid caused my sons. Covid also caused his cousin to develop T1D too a few months later. No family history of it before.

My 7 year old son has been diagnosed with T1D for 3 months, on MDI. I've always done his injections nobody else bar school, I've always been fine about them and done it really well so I like to think. However this week I got sick and my hands got a bit shaky and it's eroded my confidence...
