Thanks juicyj, I have printed this and will give to his teacher :)

Thank you very much!! :) Yes I will take it as a learning curve, I’m going to print the nutrition info off and give to his teacher, once carbs are counted my son will do his own prick and injection.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I get where you’re coming from but knowing my son he’ll be all stroppy about me going.. he’s a really good kid and has taken all of this really well as a newly diagnosed diabetic. Plus I don’t want him thinking I’ll be following him on all school outings [emoji23] I...

Thanks very much for this! I will print it out and hand to the teacher so they can help him carb count :)

Thank you, I will. I’m not 100% sure what time he is going with school but he is very independent and does his own pricking of his finger and injections so I’ll make sure he knows to test his sugar levels an hour or two after and his meter will give him the correction dose amount automatically.

That’s a great article! Thank you :)

Hi @Ziggy2017 Yes he does and he takes it to school. That’s one way I suppose I didn’t think of that -thanks! He’ll just have to put all food he’s going to eat all on one plate so I can count the carbs won’t he? We usually inject the insulin units ten mins before eating, is it possible to...

Hi I’m after a little advice, my son was diagnosed 4 weeks ago type 1 and is insulin dependent (4 injections daily) He is due to leave primary school soon and they are taking the children bowling and to Pizza Hut (buffet) now I’m aware of carb counting and we know my sons ratio, usually do the...

Thank you

Thanks for your reply. They haven’t really given any advice - just to test him? I’m not sure how often? What is a CGM? Sorry to sound daft!

Hi, my son was recently diagnosed and he’s taking everything really well so far. My question is - should I be testing him every night (through the night)? I have tested him a few times but that was only to follow up high readings (over 14) to check it was coming down. Other than that I just...

@therower I imagine.. That’s the part am actually looking forward to in the future for my son. Taking it well and dealing with it but he’s so much to learn still but will grow with it and will become part of every day life :) Easy days are my Sunday routine! I have a 17 month old as well as...

Haha thanks! That’s what I thought as I have already posted! However I didn’t want to start a new “topic” which confused me... it doesn’t take much to be honest! Thanks for explaining :) How are you today?

Hi :) Yes I have seen that bit but to be honest I’m not entirely sure how to work this site haha I just post and hope for the best! Do I go on there and just add new topic? Thank you :)

Hi Mick! Wow okay so that’s a lot of info on the pumps - thank you.. and after reading it I’m quite happy Jayden being on the injections (4 a day) novorapid for meal times and lantus over night. I was curious as if heard about the pumps and wondered if Jayden would benefit better using one but...

Thank you for those great words of advice :) Yes now Jayden is doing his injections he’s happier. It’s hard some days - for me! Jayden is just getting on with things, even cutting out all chocolates and sweets that he could eat whenever he wanted before diagnosed. The best thing is seeing the...

Hiya, Oh they are low aren’t they.. maybe the heat? Jayden has had a few low readings recently but we have just adjusted his insulin to carb ratio - do you have your ratio yet? Also have you started carb counting? It’s great. Jayden has two glucose tablets when he has low readings and can feel...

Hey.. so we’re now doing correction doses, if over 11 his expert meter will show up automatically how many units of insulin to give him.. it’s pretty good isn’t it! How does the pump work - do you know?

It’s so annoying haha I thought he might have pinched something out of the fridge that he should have had after tea [emoji6][emoji23] Hmm funnily enough when his reading popped up on the screen, it also said Bolus 1 U which I’m assuming that’s the metre telling me to give Jayden 1U to bring it...
