Wow!! That is seriously good. Is this with pump and low carb diet?

4 months in now with a 5 year old...most helpful things we have done so far: 1) Met with other parents/children in the local area with T1D. Really helped my daughter see other kids in the same boat. You can contact your DSN to help with that. 2) Raised money for T1 research. Gave us a sense...

Will always remember my daughters Diaversary as it was on my birthday! So I won't be celebrating any more birthday's but will make up for it with these **** Diaversaries. Hopefully one day we will have Diareversary parties as well.

Anyone remember the Pez Sweets dispensers? They should have them for Dextro Energy tabs.

Thanks all, it's interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on this. @Jaylee nice leftfield response...I once worked in a well known shoe warehouse. They worked us like dogs but now that I look back on it, it was a great laugh....no stress. Back to topic. I have no idea what they would do with...

Was wondering if anyone has used a company to store the stem cells from fallen milk teeth? There is a lot of research regarding stem cells and their ability to re-generate. Storing the stem cells from milk teeth offers a second chance if you didn't save them from the Placenta. Have only done...

Didn't even know this place existed until 4 months ago! But this forum is great...so much knowledge on here. The mobile app is also good to read on. Also like the Facebook Libre Group but don't really use anything else due to time constraints. I would regard this forum as Social media yes.

Hi @meg7024, I'm fairly new to managing Type 1 but what you could try without changing too much is to Bolus for the evening meal to enable your bloods to return to range before bedtime. At bedtime, take a small slow release carb snack to prevent the drop. We do this on most nights with my...

Hi @SeanHomer_1, we use the Libre for my my 5 year old daughter. I can bet you my house that she has skinnier arms than you ;). Initially, we did think how the hell is thing going to stay on but it does. We use GrifGrips to help keep it on and they work well. Overall, I can't recommend this...

You can see from the attached picture that the accuracy is not as good on day 1 so to mitigate that a little, we place the sensor on the arm 12 hours before activating it. It gives it a little time to settle in the body and for the body to get used to it. This is just what we have found works...

Diasend is great. The only problem I had with it was it did not recognise the Libre until I stopped the 'Libre Service' on my Windows 10 computer. So I just need to keep on stopping and starting the service depending on what I want to do. Only a minor inconvenience. We put on a new sensor 12...

Amazing results...well done :):) It must be a really nice feeling that the residential trip went well with no incident.

No chance...T1D on its own is not Special Needs. Sure, your son has 'additional' needs over and above his peers but nothing 'special'. You're also running with a Libre and Pump so not that much for teaching to do on top of their normal duties. Like you say, this sounds like a plan to get...

We use the one you mentioned @wilbo1948. I'm pretty sure they will deliver to you. Ring them to confirm.

It's through a national website that our GP surgery has signed up to. Was pretty easy to set up. Was quite shocked when I logged in a couple of weeks after registering and all the prescription items were listed....shocked in a nice way.

Recently moved my daughters repeat to an online service and have had a really positive experience so far. She has over 10 items on repeat and we only really need the test strips and needles on a regular basis. We already have enough Insulin supply for a good few months. The Glucose Gels and...

Also have a 5 year old Daughter about 4 months in now and she is coping well. We do get these mood swings which are completely random and unexplainable and can take a long time to sort out!! Really not sure if it's the T1 or just her being her as a 5 year old. She did used to have moments...

Had almost similar last night. Bed was 7.1 but a couple of hours later was 3.7, then 3.6. So waited about 30 mins as it has gone up by itself before....but it was down to 3.2. So had to wake her! After about 10 mins of persuasion managed to get her to chomp through a Belvita with Jam which...

Got an email from Abbott yesterday saying that a new LibreLinkUp App has been released on Android. This App allows the Android Phone that you scan the FreeStyle Libre with to then transmit the reading to any number of Android phones that are synched up. This is great for me as a Parent :)...

I feel your pain. My daughter was diagnosed end of July this year aged 5. It probably took us a good 6 weeks to come to terms with it all. It is a lot to take in at first but it will get easier like some of the others have already said. What has helped us is talking to other parents in our...
