Hi there, my son is 6 and HbA1c usually between 8 and 9 and no matter how hard I try I just don't seem to be getting it right. He is currently on two injections of Novomix30 a day and now has an Omnipod to wear for a week to see how he feels about it. Can anyone give me any pointers/advice...

Hi can anyone give me any advice? My son had a cold over the weekend and temp of between 39-40 for two days. His blood sugars were raised (in the teens) and I put it down to the cold. Now we are almost a week on and blood levels still too high and I'm having to give him soluble insulin twice...

Had 3 month review this morning and HbA1c gone up for the second time in a row. DSN asked if we had considered a pump and of course I have read a lot about them and wanted more information. My son is 5 and quite keen and I will do anything for better control for him and to make his life...

DSN has given us new insulin for our daughter, she's now on Novomix 70/30. We have been using Humalog for months to correct highs if necessary and I wondered if we can still use this with Novomix? I was hoping to see the DSN when we picked up medication but she wasn't around and I haven't been...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice please? My 4 year old daughter (T1) has two jabs a day, one before breakfast and the other before tea (Humulin M3 70/30), she's been on this regime for about two months and it does seem to be working better for her than her previous. However...

Hi, I wonder if I can ask some advice please. My daughter normally has her evening insulin jab 20 minutes before our evening meal at 6pm. She is going to a birthday party tomorrow and will be eating a meal at 4pm so I'm unsure whether I should give her her jab then, or wait until nearer the...

So hello. I found this site the other night and I think it's fantastic. My daughter was diagnosed aged 3 in October 2009 and things have been a little up and down but she's doing pretty well recently. It's such a comfort so read about other parents in the same situation but it makes me so sad...
