Hi, my son ( diagnosed type 1 Feb.this year) also experienced hair loss for about couple of months a week after diagnosis. A lot of his hair fell off and it was very scary. But per doctors advised and opinion that it could be due to trauma and stressed because of a very high blood sugar prior...

Thank you sir @noblehead youve been always there for us since I joined this forum.

Yes I am Natalie, Im glad I listened to all of your advices. It feels like i defeated my fears. I am so proud of my son on how he handles diabetes. I hope he continue to be that way. And the pizza maybe because after they had lunch they played a lot in the mall arcade. Air hockey, basketball...

My son just got home from almost 9 hours of day out. I found these numbers on his meter. A 5.0, 8.2 and a 5.3 with 2 to 3 hours checking intervals. I am so happy that i let him go out and have some great time with his friends! Its all worth it, my son definetely feels great i know because he...

Thank you all for your great advices,and for sharing your thoughts about letting go. We are still very new to this kind of living.l feel a little relax now. Anyway, my son and his friends left earlier. And im pretty sure they are having some great time now. I received a text message from my...

I was talking to him while ago about his day out with friends, I told him since they are going to the mall and i too needs to go to buy something in the craft store, maybe i could give you and your friends a ride to the mall? And he just laughed and told me mommy you and your old style! Busted!

The reason why i am being paranoid here is because of some reports in the news lately. Experts advised public to be more prepared because a possible huge earthquake might occur in my country just like what happened in Nepal sometime in April this year. Philippines is included in the Pacific ring...

Thanks @noblehead , you always gives me sensible advices. But sir what would be your advice in case of lockdown situation? Say something happened in the mall and they have to make a lockdown?

Hi @novorapidboi26, he is 14, diagnosed 7 months ago. You were exactly right, regardless of age i would still be his worried mum. Thank you for "getting" it!

Hi, yeah i could do that, though i know his friends are quiet aware of hypo signs since my son had a couple of hypo incident at school and his two closest buddies helped him. May i ask, what if there is a lockdown situations in the mall what will kids do? I know i am being paranoid here. :(

Hello, My newly diagnosed teen son asked me if he can go out with his friends, eat out, watch movie and play lazer extreme! This is not the first time he will spend times with his pal outside our house or school. He had some sleep over couple of times since diagnosis. My worry is he and his...

Re tested just now @11:10 evening. BG-4.5 Drank half a cup of milk and 2 pcs. Ritz biscuit. Weird!

Same as Lantus it's 18 units @9:00 pm every night. He was on a pump couple of months after diagnosis but chose to get back on MDI. He said he is more comfortable in shots. I on the other hand would really want him to be on pump but it's his choice and it is his condition, I must respect it. It...

My son was just diagnosed 6 months ago. His daily/night readings prior switching to Lantus. 6:00 am woke up, BG 5-6.5 breakfast- toast/ grilled cheese sandwich,fruits(apple or banana). take his shot usually in the middle of his meal. 11:00 am lunch at school. 5-7.7 eat lunch- fish, brown...

Hello @Spiker My son bedtime readings when he was still on levemir were quiet stable, although we don't practice basal splitting he usually get 7-7.5 which is our target for him to go to bed.Until recently like 2 weeks ago when we switched to lantus his bedtime readings went crazy! and I don't...

I hope too! its getting late here and I'm exhausted and tired trying to figure out what's wrong with my son's level. This medical condition is very mysterious, one day okay, and one day out of nowhere weird things happens.

Thank you @slip May i ask are you type 1 yourself? How old are you?

We haven't told to split basal maybe because when my son was on levemir his bedtime readings were in ideal range which is in low 7. It is only now that he switched to Lantus two weeks ago and his bedtime numbers were high. I pray his endo will answer my email ASAP.
