Hey @SurreyDad. My daughter (9) was diagnosed T1 in April and also showed coeliac in her blood. We're waiting for the appt to see. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

So if I test before bed, as we are now, and the BG is high and the reader recommends a correction - logical next step is to correct and that is right. But when we check 2 hours later and it has not gone down, or has not gone down as far as we would like we should hold off from adding a...

So I spoke too soon... Last night went up to 11.6, had correction took us to 11.3 two hours later. 0.5 correction then to 10.5 two hours later...Finally down to 7 two hours after that. I thought the worry about heat is that it bought BG counts down?

So day 3 of holiday. It's 23-27 degrees in day. DD's been great. Averaging on 5.3 with only 1 spike so far and knock on wood no hypos. Still staying alert and asking her how she's feeling way too much... [emoji18] She's just created an account on the forum so she can find other 9/10 year olds...

Been reading the posts here and you guys are amazing. Not only do each of you have an amazing, brave story to tell but you each share and supply support and love to other people on this forum. Edith was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and though we have learned a lot - we are still learning new things...

Thank you @1Sarah1. That's really good to know. We make our own porridge from oats and soya milk. No additions. That's how we had it before and so decided to carry that over. Might look into whole oats tho. Hear they are slower release. How do we know how long she's in honeymoon period? Are...

Thank you @mahola. I found what you wrote really comforting. My daughter has always been one to call the shots and is definitely taking that approach with this. We are there to guide support and keep her safe. That's the way we lived before - and we've fallen into the same pattern now. So it's...

Keto? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I've been reading several posts that say, or suggest, that porridge is not good for T1's. The nutritionist definitely said that we do not need to change our daughter's diet, just carb count and provide appropriate insulin. And to go for the low GI as much as possible. So what's the story with...
