Hi all! I have a quick question if anyone knows the answer.... My 3 year old uses the combo pump and we are getting on great with it so far. My question is, when we set a TBR on it overnight (if he was a bit on the lower side I might for an hour just to get him coming up a bit again) is there a...

Hi all! I was just wondering if I am allowed to post a link to my new blog on here? I have started writing one to tell our story as a family with a 3 year old with type 1, and also to hopefully provide support and raise awareness at the same time to other families going through the same thing...

Hi all! I have a question which I'm hoping someone may help with. I have a 3 year old with type 1 and he was diagnosed last June. We also have a 7 year old ( non diabetic). The last 6 weeks or so the 7 year old has been having a lot of tummy ache and diarehea every other day or so, which I...

Hi all! I know this may be helped in the youth section also, but I wanted to get a general feel of what I should expect for my 3 year old diagnosed last june with type 1. He is already at pre school for 2 hours in a morning and he goes 3 times a week. My general opinion of the ladies with him is...

Hi all! I'm afraid today I'm after some positive vibes :? . My 3 year old was diagnosed last year as type 1 and we have spent most of the last 8 months dealing with this and getting used to everything. He is going on the accu chek combo pump next month which I'm super excited about :D . I'm...

Hi all! My 3 year old is going on this pump on the 2nd April after we decided that although it may be more work I'm hoping that it will suit a little boy better than him having 8 or more injections a day due to him being a grazer with his eating! I was just wondering if anyone had any hints or...

Hi All! My little boy (aged 3 next month) has been approved and put forward for this pump, as long as the funding comes through which we are hopeful for. I'm excited to have this opportunity for him but also a little scared! I think I have researched all I can and can guess the level of work...

Hi everyone! I hope this is fine to post about, I was just wondering if anyone had been to an event that was geared towards parents? With talks and information given? Did people find them useful to go to? There is one being held quite soon but it will be a 2 hour drive for me to go to it, so...

Hi all. I normally post in the youth section but really wanted some advice and input from older members if anyone would help. I have a 2 year old son who was diagnosed type 1 in june. We have had a lot of help from his nurse but everything still feels like very early days and we are still...

Hi! I have a 2 year old son with type 1 diabetes. This is kind of a mini rant so Im sorry in advance! I have lost count over the last few weeks since his diagnosis how many time people (without diabetes) say " He's diabetic? Oh well he looks healthy so that cant be hard to deal with" Well, I...

Hi! My 2 yr old was diagnosed about 3-4 weeks ago and I had a question about 'normal' readings for him. His consultant has said that between 4 and 10 is ideal (sorry for my numbers, I am very new to this and still learning!) but what I have found with Jac is that if he is 4ish he gets shaky,pale...

Hi! I must say that after a week in hospital with my 2 yr old I was feeling a little confused and alone about his diagnosis. Then I found this forum! I have been reading through this section with much interest, as my sons doctors have said that it is quite rare for someone of his age to get...
