Hi everyone. My name is Steve and I am new here. My son is 9 now and was diagnosed T1 at 3 years old.
He had had a bug/cold and we started noticing he was drinking a lot of water and a visit to the doctor's was made. The doctor took a blood test and his blood sugar level was +40 and so here we are!!
The diabetes team at our local NHS trust are very good and helped a lot during those early day's, including going to our sons nursery and training the staff there on insulin administration and have continued to do so to this day for school staff and also holiday clubs.
I am joining the forum because I wanted to seek views from other parents about a couple of things, namely management of blood sugar levels overnight and also I am seeking information about natural hypo treatments.
