Yes thanks Catherine, Have used the xanthan gum with some good results and some horrendous ones!! maybe its just my cooking skills :lol: Suzi x

Hi ams, Glad you can bake, i'm a good baker in general, but the gluten free has me flumoxed. No two ever turn out the same, gluten binds the mixture together and science is beyond me. There is a very tasty gluten free bread on the market, delivered through the chemist free, called glutafin...

ams, Andrew has said after 4yrs, if he could get rid of either coeliac or diabetes, it would be the coeliac everytime, it does make them more isolated in what and where they can eat. I remember those months waiting for him to have an endoscopy (Dr went inconveniently on holiday) and we spent...

Hi ams162, I'm mum to Andrew who is now 11yrs old, diagnosed 4yrs ago with diabetes and 3yrs ago with Coeliac disease. What a mixture!! Andrews hbac1 has gradually increased over the past 3yrs (result on last one being 9.0,down from 10.4)despite every effort in the book to control it, i for one...

Hi Chelsey, I knew Jen would answer your post, shes an absolute Angel and i for one have such admiration for her and her little Superstar Khaleb. All the mothers on this forum are Angels, and you've become one too, and all our kids are superstars. You will manage your little girls diabetes...

Hi Chelsey, i'm sending lots of ((hugs)) to you and your little girl, and please don't blame yourself, its one of lifes mysteries. I'm sorry i can't offer advise to one so young, as my son has been diagnosed now for 4yrs and is 11yrs old. But I do know a lovely lady with a 3yr old, whos little...

Val, Patch, thats hurtful. I never set out to intentionally hurt that young girls feelings. I can't say the same for you both in the way youv'e acted towards me. Goodbye, Suzi x

I doubt if anyone of you could have watched her eat so much without making a comment of some kind, even innocent ones. I've already apologised for my wording in the title post. But i won't apologise for trying to help a fellow human being in that situation. Suzi

No hard feelings Catherine, in future i'll think of the whole picture and especially the title before posting. :oops: Suzi x

I apologise to you all, i never meant to hurt any one with my chosen words of observation. As a mother of a diabetic child who has to watch and count every morsel he eats, i suppose watching her bought out the instinct to tell her the harm she could do herself without thinking of any issues she...

In my observation of her, glutony and ignorance was the only way to describe her, she may have a genuine poblem with food, she may be over eating to compensate a past experience. But in all honestly, she seemed a well rounded (no pun intended, honest) kindly sort of girl, very chatty and she...

its so hard to know what to do, you could try the extra unit at bedtime. At present we are back to giving Andrew his extra humalog at 4pm and usually another top up at bedtime before his Levemir, i don't have much faith in the Levemir at present, it doen't seem to be doing its job!! But will...

Last week we had an 18 yr old student in at the playgroup in which i work partime. I was amazed at lunchtime to see her consume 4 rounds of cheese sandwiches(8 slices of bread), 3 packets of crisps, 2 milkyway yoghurts, a thortons bar of chocolate , 2 slices of maderia cake, and a...

It's so hard to know what to do, 39 units seems so much, but we all know our children are so different. How are her bs over the rest of the day? and are you still splitting the dose? If her bs is ok during the rest of the day, perhaps just increasing her bolus at breakfast will do until you get...
