    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Yes that's correct. So the doctor said that when that time comes he will bring in social services and I would look after my son. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    I had a really useful private meeting with the doctor and told him everything . He had already worked out my wife hadn't been giving insulin and the fact that I met him really helps as they know my son can be moved to stay with me if needed. Apparently the doctor was watching things closely ...

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Hi. What I don't understand is that if his lower weight , from 30kg to 27kg is due to the end of the honeymoon period and a lack of insulin , how his ketone level (and sugar level) can be still normal ? It doesn't make sense , something is missing.

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Hi. I really appreciate this feedback. It really helps. Thanks.What you say all makes sense to me. The Honeymoon period must have ended, after lasting 2 years although his last HbA1c reading was 5.8 which is normal and he had no Ketones. We were in the UK when he was first diagnosed and had...

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Just to add. For the last year or so we live seperately、I am not allowed any say in his diet or diabetes management , and before I open up to the doctors etc about what my wife is up to I have to be sure that the lack of insulin is causing this lack of weight gain.

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Things don't add up. I went to the last check up , joining my wife and son. He looked like he had been losing way too much weight and he had, he was at 30kg for the last 2 years, but dropped to 27kg since 2 months ago. Yet his hemoglobin levels and ketone levels were normal . Yes , the wife...

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Thank you for the comments.. Yes ,I think it might be hard to prove legally that there is harm being done right now. Having read the comments it is confirming that I need to talk to the doctor to check that he is aware of the weight situation. Unfortunately my son has been brain washed by his...

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    He is testing his own blood regularly , several times every day, and then he gets the monthly checks at the hospital which all show he is managing things well. He still seems to be in the honeymoon period ,which is surprising as it is 2 years since he was diagnosed. If it wasn't for the no...

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Thank you for all the comments.. Yes his height is increasing, he is just got skinny. I am fairly sure his diet is ok , although very alternative, except for the lack of long lasting carbo like grain etc.. We moved to Japan last year, my wife is Japanese and is deceiving the doctors here, they...

    Stopped taking Insulin- sugar levels ok but not gaining weight.

    Hi.. I am separated from my wife. My 12 year old son has had diabetes type 1 for 2 years now but his mum stopped giving him insulin about a year ago and has put him on a special low carb diet so he doesn't have to take insulin. All his readings are showing that he has very good sugar levels and...
