Hi, I have a son 15yrs old diagnosed with type 1 June 25 2012. My son has a number of other special needs ADHD, which does not help with sugar levels. OCD and on the autistic spectrum. What I am concerned about as when I read a lot of topics on here people say about not having a lot of sugary foods. My diabetic nurse and dietician said if he wants cake, in moderation with his meal not to worry if your carb counting and giving the insulin, it's just hat he would have had before only his body would have been able to adjust for it. Do you think with a a balanced diet cakes and chocolate accounted for is ok. My son is doing all his own injections but shows no interest of his need of learning to know about how to carb count and work out dosages, or dial up his needle. I am very worried for his future life, I often think about the negatives like the complications. I have a daughter who is 13 and I worry She will get it.This diagnoses has made life even harder for my whole family, as well as all the other needs, like so many others in this situation.
I wish I could find him a friend who had this and that he could relate to, as he panics people are looking at him when he had to do injections out. I would appreciate any feedback on his matter.
