I would like to ask those who went through the teen rebellion stage what would have changed things for you? Would sanctions have worked? eg. No injecting, no party/phone kind of thing. An American style "intervention"? Some mention backing off but if I do that we are up in the 30s just waiting...

That is exactly the same as my preteen. Our consultant said to us when our control worsened that the next 2 years are going to be difficult like that, playing catch up all the time as she is growing so much and hormones changing so much so not to worry too much about it. I also have two...

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I cannot find a thread that has much info on how to handle this. Also talking to friends who have children with T1 I seem to be the only one with this problem so perhaps it isn't very common. My child is an absolute monster when blood sugars are...

Hi Samko. Is it labelled as ground almonds?

Hi Samko, the more I look into low carb diet the more it makes sense to me so I am very grateful for your post that is sending me down another route. However, another question. What supplier do you use for almond flour? Our local health food shop only has very small quantities and I'd like to...

The website and phone number for the freestyle libre in the uk is not working (it says out of stock and on calling that calls cannot be taken). Does anyone know what is happening with this product?

Thanks for your reply. Do you not bolus for the 70g 2 hours before or the banana? Do you ever put a - percent on the basal on your pump? My daughter is on a pump. She tends to hypo quite a few hours after the exercise so difficult to know when to give the xtra carbs.

Hi there, I wondered Vixy tic how you got on with discussing low carbs with the health care professionals for your daughter and if indeed you are doing it. My daughter's health care team say that as she is in puberty and growing so much and doing alot of sports training (every day) she needs...

What great information. I'm so pleased that you have written. It is so helpful. I have a friend who is a baker so I am going to ask her about the almond bread. I have always thought it strange that our health care professionals have rather shied away from anything to do with diet. Obviously they...

Like you, my daughter is type 1 on an insulin pump, and our health care professionals and dietician have never mentioned anything about having a very low carb diet. In fact they mentioned very low carb diet as being dangerous as she is growing and going through puberty. She eats roughly, by...

That is incredibly interesting. I have never heard of low carbing for children, therefore I assume perhaps you are not in the UK? I'm pleased that it is all working so well for you. Your method I'm afraid would not work for my daughter (who is also 11). She is going through puberty and does a...

Heard on Radio5 live recently a parent of a child with a consistently low Hba1C. My daughter on a pump for 2 years, age 12, and even though we try and try we only manage hba1C of 8.5-8.9. Could some parents give tips on how they account for good levels. I feel its the basal that isn't right and...
