I am speaking to the nurse Friday to go over his figures. As they increased the insulin and we are doing correction dosages after a week they are going to see if any change. We also have to be careful as he is back at school so this could alter things aswell.just see how he gets on. It is his...

I know it can be trial and error and as he grows things will change. I am not panicking as I know we are doing our best by him and he is very good dealing with it all. One week at a time.

Thanks for your reply. We do monitor what he eats and there were patterns forming. However of late his bloods have been very random. His bloods did come down but now all over the place. For example. He had two toast (brown) for breakfast, an 1.5 hours after we walked the dog for an hour or so...

Thanks. Our nurse helped me out and his bloods came down (thank goodness). I am sorry to hear that your sister had been diagnosed aswell. I have a younger child and pray that he escapes it. Thanks again for the Twitter info. My husband is on Twitter so will get him to look.

I spoke to the nurse yesterday and she told me how to do correction dosages. We tried this yesterday buthe is still high. She says may be due to him being run down or could be end of the honeymoon period. She says just have to see how we go. We have just been told to make sure he has carbs with...

We have been testing his ketones and they have been 0.1 so ok. I have spoken to the nurse and she says that it may be because he has a cough or it may be his honeymoon period coming to an end. We have to wait and see. In the meantime she has advised me on correction insulin dosages. Will see how...

Thanks for responses. He does seem to have had a slight growth spurt plus he may have an infection. I will try and speak to a nurse tomorrow. I don't want to over react thats why I thought I would ask for advice from people on the forum.

My son has been diagnosed for 7 months now and seems to be coping well. However over the last 3 days his sugars have ranged from about 11 to 19. We are still only on tiny doses of insulin which has been set by the nurses. We have been having our usual meals. He has got a cough and seems alittle...

Well this is just how it has been since diagnosis. I think it is because he is still classed as being in the honeymoon stage. The last time we saw the doctor was December and she said we could start being a little more flexible by altering the insulin by half a unit if he was going to do sport...

Tzaziki dip with carrot, celery and cheese sticks are good. My son enjoys them is there is a party afternoon at school. Not sure if I have spelt the dip right

Thanks for all the replies. As my son is newly diagnosed we are not calculating insulin doses yet. This is why we are being careful. Will look at the weight watchers ones when I next go shopping. Thanks again for the help

My son is newly diagnosed as type 1. They say to have low fat yoghurts but most of them are high in sugars. Can people tell me the better brands to buy. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. I am sure he will like cheese wrapped in ham.
