Oh my goodness, leggott! you have two little ones, both with T1! :( That must be pretty rare? boy that must be hard, what a shock it must have been x

Thank you all, it seems I am doing similar with my son to a few of you anyway - he's pretty good in the sense that he appreciates he can not just have a packet of sweets randomly as other kids can, but his dietician has explained to him that if he does want a sweet treat, to have it as part of a...

Hello again, Well I am now beginning to familiarise myself with this wonderful forum - as I have already written in another thread, I am mum to a boy (10) who was diagnosed 2 years ago with T1 diabetes. What I am really interested in, after reading a good few posts in the food areas on this...

Hi there :-) I too have only just joined this forum and was in the same situation as you two years ago when my son was diagnosed just a few days after his 8th birthday. Im sure there will be lots of lovely people with great advice who will answer any questions you will no doubt have along the...

Hi all I have only just joined this forum and just thought it might help me if I could put my fears into words, so to speak, as presently I am driving myself mad by over-thinking and feeling so alone with my fears :( My little boy (who is 10 yrs old tomorrow), was diagnosed with Type 1 two...

thank you for your welcomes :)

Hi there, I have just joined this forum as i thought it might be nice to speak with other people in a similar situation. I have to admit to being totally ignorant to diabetes, that is until my young son was admitted into hospital after being diagnosed as having Type 1 diabetes :( That was...
