my daughter has just turned 5, diagnosed aged 3 and has also been complaining of belly ache, this happens whatever her levels are, all blood tests came back normal, i am at a loss as to what it could be :(

thanks for the replies, they've come in very usefull, i'll admit that i havent really thought about what she has for breakfast, she usually has the same as my son and i now realise that some cereals make her way higher than others so i'm going to concerntrate on changing her breakfast totally...

she usually has a bowl of cereal for breakie, say 50g of carbs, and now an then i may have to correct her morning reading, she sometimes wakes at about 10mml, so she'll have between 5 and 5.5 units of novorapid yet she is still really high 2 hours later, i'm reluctant to give her more novorapid...

for quite a while now we have had high readings 2 hours after breakfast,(today she is 18) if i correct it, then she'll be hypo before lunch, if i leave it, she'll be on target before lunch, but i dont want the high reading in the 1st place...................any ideas what i could be doing wrong...

i'm giving up..................... :( i know it's only been a week but with everything going on at the moment i just havent the energy to do it, i know alot of ppl get a trial run with it, we didnt, i rang the dsn on the friday to discus mimi's levels, and that was that, she started us off on...

we've been on the accu chek combo for 5 days, we never had a choice, just got given it. i am finding it hard at the moment but we're seeing better results already :)

made it through yesterdays cannula change with lots of tears (me and her) i was just so tired and everything ive been told went out the window, i really did want to just stop it all and go back to the injections, the next big test is the change of tubing and cartridge, it's due to be done on...

thanks for all the replies, all's been ok so far, touch wood, however were doing the first change today and i know it isnt going to smoothly, :? it is hard work and yes i am shattered but hopefully it'll be worth it in the long run, i do keep thinking about the ease of injections, compared to...

first day on the pump and what can i say....................i want the injections back :( i know it's early days and theres alot to take in, just like on diagnosis, but i do wonder if i can manage it. ive been home 3 hours and had to disconnect twice to get rid of air bubbles :( she's...

hello all, my little girl was diagnosed oct 10 and since then, apart from maybe 2-3 weeks, she has never been stable, the past few months her readings have been mainly high and the DSN has now said we're to try the pump (going on Monday to start the training). i can see the pro's of her being...

well we got the new meter yesterday so today is the 1st day of using it, it looks easy enough to use, i'll let you know how we get on :)

our DSN rang up tonight and said we can have one and are going on wednesday to be shown how it all works, it sounds very promising :D

hi, anyone got one of these meters yet, how are you finding it, is it worthwhile me changing over. i'm getting one next wednesday for my daughter and am hoping it'll make things easier. :D

if only we all had her powers! :wink:

i just love the "poison, and cookies, made with poison"..........i may use that myself :D

how lovely it would be to just take a tablet.............. :( i tend to worry myself sick about this whole diabetes rollercoaster, i read things i shouldnt and get really worked up about it. ive just seen a youtube clip of Halle Berry saying she was a type 1 diabetic but had "weaned" herself...

hi all, my niece is 3 this coming August and since my daughter has been diagnosed with T1 we are becoming more aware that she is showing symptoms of it too, she can be quite moody, but not weepy like Mia constantly was, she eats and eats anything she can lay her little hands on, and as for...

i am so stressed at the moment, as you know, we tried the basal/bolus regime and it didnt work for us at all, so we went back to the Novomix 30 twice a day, was fine for a week or so and now her readings are all over, she tends to eat the same each day but the past few days her BSL's are really...

hi, you've come to the right place for help, advice and support, i'd of been lost if i hadnt had some sound advice off the lovely people here. my daughter has just turned 4 and was diagnosed in october 10, and i cant believe the amount of younger children this horrible thing affects, i was told...
