Hi Marcus How did it go today? I haven't posted on here for ages but saw your post. My daughter is finally getting a pump next month, she starts with a trial pump and saline on the 1st Oct and gets new pump and insulin on the 29th Oct if all goes well. She is 12 and will be having the Accu...

That is what i was thinking too, the nightly levemir was increased to try and stop big rises in her levels from when she went to bed at 7:30-8pm and when i went to bed at 10-11pm as they then stayed high all night BUT i have recently discovered that giving novorapid after the evening meal...

Sorry but she has pushed me to the absolute limits lately, she knocked her 6 year old sisters 2 front teeth out on thursday evening - all over who was going to tidy up what in the bedroom :( The reason her and her older sister got no dinner is because when it was cooked i asked the pair of...

Wow :shock: Well done you for working all that out 8) I downloaded a free record keeping program which also draws all sorts of graphs and predicts the A1c for any time period, 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months etc I have found it to be quite accurate so far, only 0.1 out on my...

My daughter was changed from the twice daily to five daily injections back in June. I did the online course that Catherine has posted a link for and it was a huge help in understanding it more and working out what to change. I have also had a lot of help from people on here with adjusting the...

I went with mini milks in the end as you get more in a box and less carbs :lol: If she's going to be playing outside in the afternoon then she can get away with a skinny cow ice cream lolly

Thanks Jen, think i will have to experiment with jacket potatoes until i find an amount that works for her but i might go with the 15g you use and see what happens next time! Oh no i really hope he hasn't got another cold :( I only speak to him now if i absolutely have to :oops: He dropped...

Thanks for the replies :) I promise i am not an evil mum, that is the first time they've had no dinner. Well it was an interesting unplanned experiment which i am going to continue today by testing hourly and delaying lunch. I thought i had got her doses and ratios sorted out but i keep...

Due to behaviour my daughter has ended up going to bed with no dinner tonight. She had her normal amount of Levemir at 6:30pm which is normally done beween 5:30-6:30pm. Is this likely to cause any problems?

Sorry to hear about your accident, no wonder you are feeling rubbish :( Glad you are all ok but i agree that you should get yourself checked out again. I was in a car accident when i was 18, somebody driving too close, somebody pulled out in front of me so i had to slam my brakes on and the...

Just remembered i forgot to reply about pasta :oops: The packets have carbs for uncooked and cooked weight. I weigh before it is cooked and then work out the carbs, purely because i find that easier and then the dinner doesn't go cold! Jacket potatoes are the only thing causing me a problem...

Thanks Jen and Sophia I asked why i should not count the carbs in veg as i thought all carbs should be counted and i was told that due to the high fibre they are digested so quickly that they don't have an effect. My daughter never has as much as half a plate of veg but i might work out how...

My starting points were 75:25 1-2hrs apart for high fat or protein or 50:50 1-2hrs apart for a mostly pasta/rice type meal Last nights split was far more successful!! If she has potato based carbs for dinner then giving the whole dose after eating seems to work well but anything else she dips...

Thanks :D I have been getting so frustrated with it all and a bit impatient :oops: But that is the best encouragement i could ever have to keep on going and making adjustments to get more 'good' days Next appointment is 22 september but i am not sure it will change much in that time but i...

Thanks for the info, i'm going to Sainsburys tomorrow so i'll look out for them as they might be good for my daughter

Hello, my daughter is also 11 She was diagnosed 2.5 years ago now but her insulin and routine was changed from twice daily injections of a premix to 5 times daily of bolus and basal injections at the start of June. I have had loads of fantastic help, support and advice from other people on here...

My daughter is 11 and i do not generally leave her at home without an adult. I have done it once when i needed to make an emergency trip to the shop which is only 2mins away in the car but i didn't realise i needed to go until i was dishing dinner up :roll: So i left the kids eating dinner...

That's brilliant Jen, i hope he has continued to be more settled again for you :) She was not too bad while we were away, the only bad reading was the morning after we ate at a chinese buffet restaurant for dinner when she woke up at 15.0 This week has been quite good, just the odd reading...

My daughter had a clinic check up yesterday and all the tests, calculations, researching, lack of sleep, help and support from everyone on here has lowered her Hba1c from 8.8 to 7.9 in just 6 weeks :shock: :D I also got answers to my million questions and some help and advice :) I have...

Glad you had a good day too :D Khaleb sounds like a real sweetie putting his plate on the scales :) Well today has not gone as well as yesterday :roll: :lol: I am taking the kids away for the next couple of days so i am fully expecting it to all go wrong again!!!! I am thinking it is ok...
