I have read many such articles on massive breakthroughs, innovations, alternatives, devices, implants and whatevers. I have never finished reading an article with a sense of joy or hope. Why? Because most of the times, they are all testing on animals, waiting for funding, or are at a trial or...

Thanks @Scott-C. I did take a look at it, and looks interesting. It basically turns the libre into a proper cgm. Did you get yours from a UK dealer?

Most awkward truth ever shared Truth

Hope dies last, and all of us on this forum pray for a cure. So far just empty words by chjaqqa. No evidence, no case! I hope chjaqqa changes mind and throws in a bit of info so that we can have a sound discussion.

Hope you stay in that range forever! What is the difference between fiasp and novorapid? Any difference in price?

Hi, In the morning he is usually between 5 and 6. Breakfast does not require to much of a preparation really, and to allow him not to go low whilst school, he would have 50-60 grams of wholegrain bread with low carb jam or marmalade or peanut butter and a cup of milk, or again the same amount...

Hi there, We do not follow a strict plan. We decide on the meal depending on his BS before the meal, whenever we can. If his BS is in the higher range, then he would have something with less carbs, eggs, meat, fish, veggies that are low on carbs. I tried to introduce some a low carb diet, but...

I had a look at both sugerbeat and glucowise websites provided here. Sugerbeat sensor, if I understood correctly, has a lifespan of 24 hours. That again requires some daily routine. Glucowise, as I understand, only replaces the finger pricking and provides you with the actual reading, but it...

Hi and welcome.Just bear in mind that no measurement is 100% accurate. You might have been under 4. Test twice, at the same time, you will most probably get two different readings. But, yes, those are the symptoms of a hypo. And also, something I try to teach my diabetic son, when you are hypo...

Hi @Norwich1947 I decided to reduce my son's carbs to 80-120 grams a day. No simple carbs at all, only when needed to treat a hypo, and even then, it is just a small amount, so that he doesn't go high either. Now, what I have witnessed, and I was asking for advice earlier last week, is that he...

@azure, thanks again, unfortunately, there is only insulin pens in my country, so not too many options really. We have, however, extra novorapid, to inject in case of high bg before lunch, which we have done on a few occasions.

Thanks @Natt! Increasing the carbs would mean increasing the dose of insulin. Being on two insulin shots a day, I would hate to have to introduce a third one, or go back to the previous 4 insulin injections a day. I will have to speak to a professional, but comparing from everyone's input...

Thanks @azure! Yes, full fat milk every day, and peanut butter at least 3 times a week, usually for breakfast, spread on 2 slices of bread, with 200 ml milk. When he is in mood for something salty, then it is a chicken sandwich, or some salami and yellow cheese sandwich. Or a bowl of mixed...

Thanks @noblehead!

Thanks @tim2000s ! You are correct there, I have minimised the importance of calories and focused on limiting the bad carbs. By the way, he is 11 and not very active... I will do more calorie counting. Thanks again!

Thanks @CathP !

Thank you for the reply @slip! His BS have been pretty good. Tested HbA1c two months ago and it was 5.8 The past two months the libre has been showing good ranges, with the odd peaks of 10 or 11 mmol. But they would drop quickly. Normally before meal he would be between 5 and 7 and after meal he...

Thanks for the reply @azure! No, he doesn't see a dietitian. His diet is based on what we "think" is common sense, which might be wrong... What has changed in comparison with pre-diagnosis is the amount of simple carbs. The amount of food is pretty much the same. We have substituted white bread...

Hi, Eight months ago, my son was diagnosed with T1D. A month or so before diagnosis he weighed 35 kgs (77 lbs). When diagnosed he weighed 30 kg (66 lbs). Some two-three months after diagnosis he regained 2-3 kg. He has grown taller since then, probably some 4-5 cm (2 in.), but he has not gained...
