lol your post made me smile! my little girl was diagnosed at 10 months and is now 4 so she answers them back now! Ive had, will she grow out of it? cant you control it with her food? will she get better? they just make me laugh now!

Hi my little girl is now 4 and was diagnosed at 10 months old, we are on mdi but use an accu chek expert which is amazing, we had to set Jazs insulin sensitivity in the machine and hers is 1:14, so for every unit of novorapid I inject her bloods will fall by 14! very scary as its very rarely...

hi, sorry about your sons diagnosis! My little girl was 10 months old diagnosed but is 4 now so she has grown up with diabetes and it really is all she has ever known! I sing to jaz when I inject her, nursery rhymes, counting rhymes ect as this always seemed to relax her, which always seems to...

yeah it really has! shes been having low fat yoghurts with fruit for the last few nights and not had as high readings! up to around 12ish but massive improvment, may have to avoid bread for a while, also she cant have the childrens yoghurts as they just shoot her sugars really high!

glad this amuses you!

hi, she has to have her glargine at 10pm because it doesnt last the full 24 hours and her sugars were very high at tea times, this was a change made last time we were at clinic and has really helped with her late afternoon/early evening levels so it really does have to be as late as possible

thanks for your input, we dont see our GP for jazmins diabetes as she is so little we are at clinic seeing the consultant every 3 months and we see the dsn at least every 2 weeks or so! Ive asked repeatedly about levimir but they really dont seem to want to use it at our clinic and the very few...

they soar from 9-10ish, they do come down she has good morning levels too 4,5 ish Its not after hypos, but you are right to question this, she only has a small apple juice for hypos which is 8g and a cheddar another 3 g but this is not normally evenings! she only hypos at night if she has no...

yes our dsn says they wont split the glargine and dont want to change her to levimir

help!! my daughter is t1 and 4 years old, shes on novorapid and glargine but im really struggling with night time sugar levels, we have fantastic levels in the day! she goes to bed with lovely numbers 5,6 ect but her sugars soar! we know why, because her glargine isnt injected til 10 pm so she...

hi, my little girl is 4 and is also very good at getting her own way! I have to say I truly believe that the children are the best judge on how they feel, my little girl would not go to sleep if her bloods are on there way down! she would argue a lot and even test her own bloods! I do see a...

Hi, your post broke my heart! My little girl is 3 and were waiting for the funding for the pump, then she will be straight on it. I see both sides but this really does constitute as a form of bullying and as I work in a school I really think it needs to be sorted sooner rather than later before...

Hi im nic, mum to Jazmin who is now 3 but was diagnosed at 10 months so I do know how hard it is! Answer to your question is you simply cant! I had this discussion with my dietician when jaz was going through the terrible 2s and basically you could end up doing more harm than good by becooming...

before we did carb counting we could give jaz an adjustment between means of half to one unit. But to be honest there was always the possibility than she could then hypo! once the carb counting is in place and her insulin ratios are right she shouldnt have a lot of hypers! Jazmin only really...

hi, im nic, mum to Jazmin who is 3. My little girl is just starting to tell us when she is hypo and for her most of her hypos have her feeling very hungry! like she needs food straight away also she can seem a bit distant but is always happy to check her blood if were unsure :D When shes high...

I must add that her school are really brilliant with looking after her diabetes, her class teacher does her insulin everyday and this has meant she has settled very quickly! I was worried when she started that I would have to go in everyday to do this. But I also think its important that Jazmin...

oops sorry! really must pay more attention lol :oops:

thanks ladies! wanted to make sure I wasnt becomming a 'pushy parent' lol

my daughter is 3 and a half and has been t1 since she was 10 months old I know she understands a lot, she knows she is diabetic and understands hypos and hypers. I have been letting her test her own blood sugars because she wants to and as she is learning her numbers it seems to be helping her...

hi i'm nic, Mum to Jazmin who is also 3. she started nursery in September so just thought i'd share my experience with you. Firstly I cant fault my diabetes team as they were in school everyday for a couple of weeks ensuring every menber of staff was all trained and fully understood what...
