Thank you for sharing @JJO. I am a parent of a newly diagnosed child and am learning a lot from you accounts. Great work on the porridge. It is my daughter's current fav breakfast (as we decided to leave cereals since diagnosis) Hope your return to work goes well.

Thank you @mahola. Be great to know what your daughter's secret is for keeping her levels so balanced :)

@Sophie31 I am so sorry to hear this. As if it's not hard enough to leave them in someone else's care to then find that the care is not supportive is just too much. I am now to this (my 9yo was diagnosed T1 last month) but I agree with those who said that you should talk to your PDN and ask for...

There really is some interesting info about Diabetes and B12...

Sorry @ewelina. We're out of the country, but will try to make the next one <3

Thanks @1Sarah1. We didn't check as we got down pretty fast... When should be test Ks?every hyper or just over a certain number? (Sorry for all the ??) Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thanks @AndBreathe. She's 9 so will check w Dr. I heard that B12 supplement also makes your skin smell and they don't like it. Can B12 harm a T1 child? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

You're prob right @tim2000s but if I can make her life easier in any way and reduce irritations - it's worth it [emoji4] She reacted badly to bites pre the T1 so I want to be prepared. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Yikes. Good luck @robert72. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

@Mrsass She went to 16+. I think it was set off by having too heavy a dinner with the full insulin at the beginning. So insulin ran out before food... Thank you @noblehead. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thanks Chris. Did it work for them? I think (hope) I ordered the right one. My DD likes the thought of adult smelly cream instead of smelly medical one so let's hope it works. Promise to update post. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Last night DD had her first real hyper since leaving the hospital. I know it's not good that they wee their BG in a hyper but it's good that it alerted us and we dealt with it. She was back to 7 two hours later and woke up at 5.6. I knew the sleepless nights would come back but thought it would...

Thank you all for your reply. I have found that there is an Avon moisturiser that the Royal Marines use http://www.scotsman.com/news/avon-s-spray-finds-calling-as-midge-repellent-for-royal-marines-1-1403152. Thought I'd try it. Will update you if it works :) Also bought a sonic repent and...

Does anyone have recommendations to how I can protect my T1 DD from mosquitos while we travel? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Thank you for your post @himtoo I wish I will be able to live unto that statement :sorry:

Thank you for your support. Promise to keep posting :)

Thank you Sarah. Starting to build a support group in the area. I am sure that will really help. And things will get more normal. Not sure if it will ever be easier or better, but definitely more normal :) Thank you for your kind words. I hope you and your son are doing well

My 9 yo daughter was diagnosed 4 weeks ago with T1. It's been a crash course in a totally new life for us all, and she has been amazing with the whole shift. Most of the time she takes it in her stride but every now and again she'll get really sad, as if realising that this is it - the BG...
