I am seeing a lot of improvement in him. Some may say it is the honeymoon period but I think the body is capable of healing. His insulin requirement was 10, 10, 12 before each meal and 26 basal b4 sleep. Now, after two and half month it is about 2, 3, 3 and 10.

Well the ingredients in them.... Milk, creams, cheese. These are all dairy products. Allergy is a reaction of the immune system. My son was allergy to dairy when he was a baby. Even though now he doesn't show external symptoms of allergy we cannot see what is happening internally.

Thanks. My son was allergic to cow based infant milk formula when he was a baby. He used to get heavy rashes and wheezing. I changed to soy milk. As he grew up, he does not take so much of dairy except for occasional cakes or ice creams. However for the past two years he ate cakes frequently (...

Hi everyone, My son is type 1, diagnosed two months ago. At time of discharge he did a blood test. Came out negative for ICA but GAD was 41. We made some changes in the type of food e.g. stopped dairy, refine sugar and salt. Recent GAD test was 26 and C peptide was 0.24. Anyone have similar...

Hi Charlotte , what is your current insulin units per day ? Have you checked for GAD and ICA? Always check your blood sugar b4 sleep. If low have a snack.

He is on Novorapid three times a day and Lantus b4 sleep but his units have reduced now.

Hi Charlotte, my son is also 15 and he was diagnosed on 15 th August, about the same time as you. He is coping well now. I did some changes in the diet and his blood sugar is ok

His GAD65 has dropped from 40 to 26 after 2 months.

Hi thanks for encouraging words. My son is coping quite well. Of course he misses all the foods that he use to have b4. His insulin has reduced from 10, 10, 12, 26 to about 3,3,2,10. The 10 is for basal. We avoid all dairy and refine sugar altogether. We still monitor the blood glucose regularly.

M son who is 15 was diagnosed wth Diabetes type 1 about 2 months ago. I joined the forum to get more info so that I can support him better.
