Thank you. That sounds exactly what we are battling. 2 to 4 weeks on one dose then pulled right back for a while then straight back up again. I've kinda mastered the doses during this time too. School days she is on more insulin than weekends . Its absolutely mad. I spoke to the diabetic team...

Thank you so much for your message. Evening primrose is something I will definitely try . She is very much the same as you describe. Really high before menstrual cycle then drops. Thank you

Thank you. Yes . Your so right. You put your trust in these professionals but sometimes your gut feeling is the way forward isnt it. So happy yous finally got answers and I hope your daughter is better now .

Thanks Scott-C . Taking control of diabetes instead of it controlling us sounds just perfect. Like it used to be. I will be seriously looking into this. Really good to get advice from people that have experienced all kinds of bumps in the road x

Up 2 or 3 times a night some nights is just no use. Cant go on. I really appreciate your advice. Thank you . Hope your child is doing great . Just need to bring Rachel round in her way of thinking about the pump now. x

Its caused so much tension between the both of us. They have no answers so accusations are getting thrown about . These people do not live with this we do. Clinic in 2 weeks time so I will be saying we are unhappy. I've been far to forgiven I guess .

Thank you. They did discharge her with dawn phenomenon but kept her on the same insulin and regime . I had to up and down ratios myself over a period of time to correct her. But now they say shes on far to much insulin. I feel for you all, I really do.
