Happy Mum - my son Jayden, 11 was diagnosed type 1 nine weeks ago. His HBA1c was a whopping 133 & DKA present. Yesterday at his DN meeting (not been for 3 weeks) we were informed that it’s has come down from 133 to 60 in just 9 weeks! After being told initially that it could take months we are...

Haha yes my son says it tastes awful, we have gluco gel at home for emergencies. My son doesn’t drink anything fizzy (was always a good thing for him growing up) :) Thank you I will be sure to check the labels before considering it.

Yes been told chocolate is a no-no :)

We have been to see the DN today and they are very happy with Jaydens HBA1c, it’s come down from 130 (diagnosed 9 weeks ago) to 60 today :) Jayden doesn’t have regular hypos in the morning, it’s usually when he forgets to test before activities. He is on 5 units of Tresiba which seems to be...

Yes just ordered the frio! I can use the dia-pak for the travelling to and from Spain then use the frio daily for his bolus - thank you :)

Thank you. We are still told to have the long acting carbs after a hypo as the fast acting carbs dip pretty quickly? Suppose everyone is different, the biccies after a hypo work okay for my son :)

Yes I’m going to stick with the GlucoTabs while on holiday, they have been a god send so far! Will experiment with the jelly babies etc when back home. And yes I believe so, will keep an eye on things but I understand his reading will be effected by the change and weather etc :) Thank you [emoji4]

I hear a lot of people talk about the frio-pouch: does/has anyone used the Dia-Pak pouch? I guess it does the same but is bigger??

Wow that’s a long time! So you’re up there with the stories of using the old same needle that went blunt to inject insulin?! It’s amazing and I always tell my son about the stories I read on here and tell him how lucky he is with all of the medication and pre-sterile needles! :) Yes as he gets...

Haha thank you! I’m going to stick to the GlucoTabs while on holiday :)

Thank you very much [emoji846]

Thank you

Brilliant! Haha thank you it’s an idea which I’m sure my son will love [emoji846]

Yes I will check on the snacks.. I would prefer to have them with me so will have some before security and buy some after if they won’t let me through haha I have bought him a dia-pack pouch to keep his insulin in while travelling and on holiday, I will keep all of his medication with me in...

Nope! But I will now thanks, how many would you recommend?

Thank you [emoji4] milk? To treat a hypo? I didn’t know that, my son likes milk too so will give him the option.

Yes we only give the biscuit once levels are back up. I will try a couple of biscuits as just the one I have noticed doesn’t bring up massively- only usually to about 4.5?

Fab thank you. Yes we do the glucose then carb snack when we’re treating his hypos once his levels are back up, he enjoys the biccies [emoji846] Luckily he is hypo aware and so the first signs so far he’s been able to treat himself in school and at home. So Haribos/jelly babies/sports drink/OJ...

Hi! Thank you yes my son hates the look of that huge needle, hopefully I won’t have to use it!! I will try the jelly babies and sports drink and stick to the gel if unresponsive (then he won’t be aware what it is) It’s more for a change for him. His hypos are a lot less that when first...
