    Help with a new childrens book

    To get this thread back on topic... :) I think what was being asked was people's experiences with children being diagnosed, ie are kids admitted to hospital now a days and that kinda thing (23 years ago I was admitted for over a month - but then I think I was a bit of an exception to the rule)

    Pumps and insulin active time - advice needed

    mine is set at 2hours and then Im considering dropping it to 1hour30minutes :) if im "high" at 1hour30 after eating I do a correction and disregard the active insulin because I have found little (if any) change in my sugars in the following 30mins if i dont correct :)
