Thanks Juicyj . I just spoke to him and his readings have been not too bad today and has been more confident on the slopes so fingers crossed it was just a blip . Thank you very much for your replies they were much appreciated.

It was after breakfast on his first day of skiing it could have been stress as it’s his first time skiing. He was 14 when he got up but was low during the night. Should he change his basal rate down by 50% and maybe adjust his carb ratios. He is also a coeliac. Any suggestions

He has gone up to 21, treating it and crashing down.

Anyone on a Medtronic pump and had trouble with altitude. Readings are going through the roof for my Son who is skiing at the moment and can’t get control of his blood sugars. Any suggestions please how to combat this. TIA

Has anyone been able to make more supple/soften injection sites around the tummy with maybe a moisturiser? Or is there nothing that can be done. Son been rotating for years but now sites are getting tougher.

Went to pick up my Sons prescription today and although I got it I was told that they were having problems with getting their supplies and were having to,borrow,from other pharmacies. Has anyone else had the same problem and what can be done about it

Hi all not been on here for quite some time and I apologise for that. Not sure if I am allowed to do this but my son has now changed to a different insulin pump and he has got quite a lot of supplies left over. Would anyone be interested in having them or should I take them back to the...

Thanks will do some research

So it does not look promising. The thing is, if we don't try and find out later that we may have been able to, we would kick ourselves. Both his Dad and I are retired now so its worth a try at least but won't hold out too much hope.. Thanks

Hi my Son will be going off to Uni this September and wondered if being diabetic and a coeliac he would be entitled to disabled students allowance. Has anyone on here ever been granted this? Thanks

Hi Everyone Can you settle a disagreement between myself and James. If when he gets up with a reading of between 3.5 and 4.5 and his monitor says to have 12g of carbs to bring him up, should he just get on with his breakfast and key in the necessary carbs or like he says eat 12g carbs, then...

Thanks all and K8tie. I have found the manuals and it does say to switch off Bluetooth on pump and handset before boarding aircraft, but have not elaborated about being able to switch back on during flight. Will check with Roche to make sure. Thanks again Yvonne

Hi Everyone. A long time since I have been on here and also like the new layout. James has now been transferred to the Adult side of the Diabetic Clinic and we had a meeting with the Paediatric Consultant and Adult Consultant and 6 other people. Introducing us to them and vice versa. I felt...

Thanks Brett, his DSN did say she may need to adjust his basal rate for the morning. He does like to have a good breakfast as he does not get much time to have anything else to eat until 1ish and he is a growing lad, more up than out though which his consultant is happy about , saying keep him...

Thanks for your replies. IHs thanks for the info, very informative. James has decided he is not confident enough now to change anything at the moment and is going to wait til he goes to clinic on Monday. Thanks for your support.

Hi Everyone, James is having a pattern with his morning readings at the moment in that he wakes up with a good reading, then 1 and half hours later after having porridge and toast for breakfast his readings are sometimes in double figures, then even if he does not do a correction, he comes...
