Meant to be Hospital care but we have not been taught anything yet. Just phone hospital they will tell us dosage and get on with it. Hoping things will improve in the future as we have only due to research and this site started carb counting etc.

Just did a search on the internet and found out that its not even the DAFNE course they are putting my daughter on. Its some morning course, it doesnt last for a week. They said their was a course available 5 days but she would not get on this until she had been a diabetic for over a year. Is...

Her reading are only at 8 because we reduced the insulin to 6 they were reading 2 with the hospitals advice of 10 I had to constantly make her eat eat eat

p.s they are putting her into hypo by giving her too much insulin v carb that she eats at home as a normal diet, they are basing it on the diet in hospital which was excuse me cr*p. And she has had chocolate and a pudding though small from m and s. she eats about 50 carbs at breakfast, lunch...

Well I'm the same age as you then, she goes on holiday before the carb counting course thats why I'm ill with worry, a little more time would help. If she were more prepared then I would feel less anxious, your right I will worry no matter what. Its devestating to have your child diagnosed...

Thank you so much, my daughter is near 20 lol but does not want to put on weight and thats understandable at her age. I would have felt much better if we had only one day of teaching but nothing for a few weeks and the nurses controlling the insulin. She wants to live as normal a life as...

Hi Everyone Thankyou so much for your input. I completely agree that nothing should be out of the question in moderation. The problem we have is that the nurses are deciding what insulin should be given and its the same at every meal 10 units of fast acting breakfast, lunch, dinner. My...

I would like to know if anyone on here has been told by the dietician that as a type 1 diabetic you can eat anything. I feel this is madness as it is misleading to the young. Yes we can all eat whatever we want but with consequences, putting on weight, heart disease etc. I cant believe that...

God love them and protect them, I dont even know if I believe the line I have just said but we can always hope

My daughter nearly had a hypo tonight, the insulin is a little high and we are going to reduce the fast acting now, at least we feel we are in control a little. I predicted this due to carbs-insulin and was aware of what the results would be. She did not want to tell anyone but did afterwards...

Thank you all so much, things have been better today and she is discussing things with me, she is just trying to get her head round everything and is starting to trust what I say. We both talked to the diabetic nurse over the phone and both came to the same conclusions. We have not been on a...

Thankyou both for your advice. I am just panic stricken with this news and know its my daughter who has to deal with this, I just want to support her as best as possible and I'm terrified of anything happening to her. She is just at the age where she wants to go out and party and be...

Please has any parent got some advice on how to talk and advise a teenager just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I am at my wits end trying to talk to my daughter, I know I am going on a bit, but just want to make sure she is understanding everything. She wont even let me explain things to her...
