Looks like he's recovered from it like a champion. :)

Hi @Calhay2010. My son was diagnosed over a month ago. He quit his football practice just before he was diagnosed, but nothing to do with diabetes. Even though he is not as active as he was, his BG does drop, almost on a daily basis, and sometimes goes as low as 3.0 or 3.1. His endocrinologist...

@Namztorb, how did it go? Hope you both enjoyed a good swim! [emoji16]

Thanks, @Scott-C! As others have said, it is a marathon, not a sprint race. Shock and disbelief are over now. Focused on learning and finding ways to cope with this 'condition'. As parents we will move mountains, but sometimes no mountains need moving, it is just our fear, or our percieved...

Wow, thanks all, I didn't expect that many responses in just a matter of minutes. In terms of the diet, we started off a bit harsh, but softened a bit later on. Not a problem with him. On the plus side, we all follow a healthier diet, including my 3 y.o. son. So this works well for all. Thank...

A month since my 10 y.o. was discharged from hospital. What has happened since, what have we learnt, what are the challenges, in brief: Just to mention he was admitted with BG levels of 21 mmol, and a 3 month average of 12. First week was bad, as my wife and I couldn't accept that this happened...

Thanks @rstonepal for your efforts to respond. I will explore further the g4 with share option. Dexcom is not present in my country, UK dexcom are not responsive, so I will have to try other options. I have so far managed to get offers for the plain g4 and the g5. The g5 being twice as expensive...

Thank you! Both links are great, thanks again!

Hi, sorry to intrude on your conversation with a slightly off-topic question. I see @rstonepal and @Chas C have been using the dexcom g4. I have received an offer for a g4 (not platinum or share, plain g4) and an offer for a g5. My lovely lady and I want to know our son's BG levels in real...

Amazing stuff, hope you guys push this forward, and eventually set some new standards. If only it would be available to everyone...

Thanx a million, you are very supportive. Just spoke to his endo who suggested lowering his levemir. Also mentioned the possibility of a remission. I will still look for the book you mentioned, I think I already saw it listed on amazon. And the carb count. Oh, the things one learns in just ten...

Thanx for that, but the animas vibe works well with dexcom g4, no?

Thanx for the reply. The libre does not have the functionality to send real time data, though, right?

Yes, he is on fixed doses of insulin, but no fixed diet. By no means I can consider his a low carb diet, just careful on the sugar side. We need to learn how to adjust his carbs, I guess one of those smart kitchen scales might work. Anyways his bg was 9 this evening. Took the usual 9 units...

Hi @azure and thanks for your post. No pump yet, but hopefully one day soon. I am still unsure how the pump and the cgms integrate, if they do integrate at all. I suppose that his lows are due to his levemir dose. At ten years of age he weighs 32kg and takes 4 units of novorapid around 8 in the...

Hi, I am a father of a 10 y.o. boy who was recently diagnosed with type 1. Still trying to figure out many things, especially why his BG tends to be low during the night, or early in the morning. It is too early to see his endocrinologist, as they've scheduled our visit late February. I am now...

Thanx a million, that helps a lot! Cheers

Thank you, I guess I will learn in due course. Have only joined this new world of T1D just about a week ago! Shock over, I guess, learning is next!

Hi, My son was recently diagnosed as T1D. Still searching for answers to, well almost everything. As I am considering a CGM for him, what would you, as an experienced user suggest: the Libre, the g4 + the xDrip (might be a hustle to install) or the g5 which requires little or no downloads of...
