I found these little finger lights in what you would call a Pound Shop. They are great for night testing and fit on all sorts of diabetes stuff.

August 15th is Khaleb's 4 year diaversary! Although I am proud of my achievement I must say a little bit of depression seeps in at the same time. The memory of being flown to a large hospital by the Royal Flying Doctor Service and sitting by Khaleb's bed in the intensive care ward that...

Khaleb is now 4.5 yrs and I took the plunge and (cold turkey) took him off the bottle. I'd tried a million times to do it gently and each time it just didn't work. I can't say Khaleb is drinking very much but being Winter here he probably doesn't need heaps of fluid. My biggest surprise was...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDATgiMw ... e=youtu.be I'm sure this has been my day today.

How do other Mum's and Dad's cope with Gastro viruses? Khaleb has just had his first and it has been the worst 3 days and nights ever. I'm sure I've only managed about 3 hours sleep a night. It was lucky that Khaleb started to vomit before I had given him his morning Levemir as I had the...

When do you decide that your child is DKA? Khaleb has been sick since Friday night and I think he has an ear infection. I've kept his blood sugar in good order until 4pm this afternoon when in 2 hours he rose 12mmol and now has ketones of 1.4 (blood measured). Khaleb is not sympomatic of...

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?' Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The Prime Minister. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so...

Khaleb has to see a GP today as his never ending colds have now led to him developing a nasty chest infection over the weekend. He's had pretty horrid blood sugar also and woke up with 0.8 ketones this morning. He's okay now after a big correction dose of Novorapid and a big drink. There is a...

How far do you change your routine to suit school etc... I changed Khaleb's insulin times to fit in with his Early Learning Centre's morning tea time. I thought this was fair enough. Khaleb is only there for just over 2 hours, twice a week in the school term (38 weeks a year). Today they...

After a topic in a different post I would like to ask people if they think eating Protein makes Blood Glucose directly. The only way I found for this to happen was for protein to go to the muscles and tissues and then the body using glycogenesis from those tissues to covert to glycogen to be...

This is for the parents out there... Anyone with young children getting plenty of sleep at night? Sometimes it is my own panic that gets me up to check but mostly it is because he does drop very suddenly sometimes. I've had 2 full nights of sleep in the last month and really want to find a...

Hi there, We've just had a short stint in hospital as Khaleb had a throat infection and refused to eat for me and there were 2 newly diagnosed children in the ward. I was surprised to hear the nurses telling a 15 year old girl she wouldn't have to change her lifestyle or eating habits to...

Do any of those who became diabetic at a young age remember how they handled taking over the job of managing diabetes from their parents and how old they were when they took over. I've got a long way to go before this could be a possibility but would love to hear the experiences of others. Was...

Does anyone know the reason why you can't mix Levemir with Novorapid. I actually know many people who are doing this and some who did it in the past but then stopped. I don't mix but this means my son gets 2 extra pricks a day. On a 2 year old there is a limited amount of injections sites and...

Does the 14 day or 30 day average on your glucose meter give a good indication of control and how do you feel this relates to your HbA1C? I have a young child so my averages are about the 10 mark (at the moment) and his last HbA1C was 8.7 (I think the meter was running a higher average before...
