Hi SophiaW James has always had the same supper for as long as I can remember. Banana Cornflakes with milk and then 3 Gluten Free slices toast (he does not inject for this and never has done) He injects 4 times a day, breakfast, lunch, tea and Lantus before bed and the DSN said not to (at the...

Hi Everyone A bit more relaxed now after seeing the DSN today. She is very happy with progress and my effort in typing out a table similar to the Diaries given, where I have written every time of day BG taken, every hypo treated and in doing that has noticed a pattern of hypos 2 hours after...

Hi SophiaW the DSN put James on 16 units of Lantus but did say that this could/would change in the near future. I will be seeing her in clinic on Thursday so will let you all know the outcome. Also I know the word fasting but don't know what this would entail. The DSN has not mentioned...

Thanks SophiaW funny you should say that, I did say to James that I think I will have to put an alarm on my mobile. I have emailed the DSN and am awaiting her instructions. Thank you again :)

:shock: I got a bit panicky this morning as I had only just realised that James did not do his 16 units of Lantus before bed. I immediately woke him at 7am to check his BG and it was 20.9. I then got him to do his 16 Lantus and then 4 Novorapid and when he got up again at 9am his reading was...

Hi All Thanks for all your advice. My Son is getting fed up already with all the BG testing "Quote" Do I really need to do this testing every 2 hours") :roll: and we are NOT getting to grips with his control. Morning 9.38 - 7.8 then breakfast - 7 units novorapid at 12.17 - 14.7 13.05 -...

Today's BG's have not been too bad Woke up 7.5 2 hours later 9.1 Before lunch 8.5 2 Hours after lunch 4.0 Before tea 5.1 My Question regarding treating a hypo is: I do struggle to know what is the best treatment for a hypo. My son used to...

Can anyone give me advice on what I may be doing wrong. Yesterday, 2 hours after James having his tea/dinner his BG was 11, this was 8pm. In the past at this time of night he would always have supper, banana, cereal and toast. Never ever tested him before bed and off he went. Morning...

Hi Everyone Well it will be a week tomorrow since my Son James started the new regime. Still finding our feet at the moment, but BG's are getting under control even though he came down with a cold. Now it is half term next week, we hope to be on top of things by the time he gets back to...

Well the time has come and just wanted to say that my son James (13) has today started on his new regime. Started off with a bg of 17.2 this morning (this reading has not been unusual for a few weeks in the morning), hence going onto multiple injections now. Breakfast morning all worked out...

Thank you SophiaW Need to digest all that and thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions. Going to order book from Amazon now. Will be back sometime next week to let you all know how we are getting on. Onwards and Upwards Thanks

My Goodness Me you all sound sooo in control of the situation, I hope myself and my son cope with the change. Went to get his script for the insulin today. Seeing his school nurse and diabetic nurse on Wednesday and here we go on the weekend. SophiaW you said that if he is too high before...

Thank you all for your replies. I have been all weekend, weighing and working out different foods, meal menus etc in readiness for next weekend, hoping this would help us get started. What came to mind as well was, what if his bg is high before his meal, how would you calculate the insulin...

Thanks for that Harry. My Son is on Humalog mix 25 at the moment, and will be going on Novorapid and Lantus which we hope to start next weekend. We also have to take into consideration that he is also a coeliac and on a gluten free diet. He is also a keen footballer and likes his football...

My 13 year old son has been very well controlled since being diagnosed when he was 3 years old but since hitting puberty his HbA1c was 8 on his last visit. We have been toying with the idea of going on the Basal Bolus Regime. I have had very good support from the Diabetic Nurse as well as the...
