Thanks everyone. Sometimes you just need that bit of reassurance. Thank you.

Hello, Does anyone have any thoughts on a connection between pre-school MMR booster and T1D? I have a son diagnosed aged 6. Now my youngest son is about to get his MMR booster and I am worried about it. Thanks.

Wow lots of replies - thank you very much to all of you. He's been diagnosed 22 months now and is currently trailing the Libre. I haven't seen a timeline graph from this yet, I will get onto that. He doesn't split the Levemir , he has it about 8pm. Splitting it does seem like a possibility...

He's 8 years old and has Novorapid/Levemir.

Hello, Just a quick question, I seemed to have lost control of my son's ratios and am struggling in what to tweak in the way of bolus or basal. He is high at night so we have increased his basal from 5.5 to 7. He has it once at night and since we have increased it his levels have dropped from...

My son has breakfast at 8am and is tested at 10:50am school breaktime. Like yourself later than the recommended 2hrs after eating. The problem we had was that he was high at this reading then hypo at lunch. We had to switch it in the care plan that he had toast at break like the others (unless...

Hello, maybe it's too much to ask him to perform the injection himself, but if he has the ability then he can set the needle ready? You could try taking him somewhere like McDonald's or somewhere in public where he might act braver? My favourite is to bribe my son. He's 8 years old his...

Hello Everybody, My 7 year old son was diagnosed with T1 in August this year. This week he has been high most of the time. We rarely do correction doses for him as they sometimes over-correct to a hypo. On 2 occasions this week he had glucose readings of over 18 (2hrs after eating) and we...

My son was high all the time and no matter what we did with the bolus, it just didn't fix it. Our diabetes clinic adjusted his night time basal and that seemed to sort it. They said if you get a high reading at a certain time of day, then tweak the bolus. If he's high numerous times during the...

Hello, I'm new to this too so still learning lots. My son is 7. Food that we give him outside of meals are Baby Bells, Cheese Strings and Pepperoni. We also cut thick slices of cucumber and put a bit of cheese on top. He takes his time over a cup of tea also. I have raw carrot sticks and I...

Hello, My son was diagnosed 4 weeks ago, just 2 weeks before his 7th birthday. The hardest thing about it all is his behaviour. He's normally a sweet caring boy so it's quite a shock when his behaviour changes all of a sudden. Similar to yourself, I find when his levels are moving fast - up or...
