@Nannynet my daughter (15) has just been switched from Levemir to Tresiba and like you, in the absence of any advice to the contrary we just went on our merry old way and did a straight swap Neither DSN or pharmacist suggested we should do a gradual phase of the two. She has been on a bit of a...

Hi EllieM! Many thanks for taking the time to reply-I have had a busy couple of weeks so only just seen your message! My daughter is a full boarder and though we only live about 30 mins from the school she won’t entertain the idea of being a daygirl for a while, which I can understand. She has...

Hi there Moominpapa, I hear you! My 15 yr old daughter was diagnosed out of the blue last month and I go from feeling on top of things to completely overwhelmed on an almost daily basis. The learning curve is pretty steep but it is amazing how quickly the new regime becomes second nature. But...

Thankyou! Very pleased to hear her eyesight won’t have been affected. We have only met her DSN over zoom thus far because of Coronavirus and am looking forward to our meeting at the end of the month to establish the relationship further.

Great advice..the DSN she has now is very nice-will definitely keep her on side!

Hi Searley and thanks for the welcome, though I totally get that no-one wishes they were here.... I am just beginning to learn how many variables are going to effect her readings and that is what makes me slightly apprehensive. Given that we have been in lockdown since she was diagnosed (and...

Your mother sounds a total star! I am definitely emphasising the same with my daughter, though it is a delicate path to tread with a frustrated and cross teenager! I’ll definitely have a look into looping, I am intrigued. Must be good if it was created by two mothers! It must be so important to...

CGM in a few weeks then perhaps a pump after that if she is interested. Glad yours has worked out well for you!

Wow Peter that is good to hear! It is all just a little overwhelming at first, though I am so grateful for all the new technology around now which I am sure certainly makes life easier than when you were diagnosed. I think she will be getting a Libre 2 in a few weeks which should help, and then...

I would much rather she stabilised gradually if that means not harming her eyesight. She did start wearing glasses last year but I guess that may just be coincidental... The staff did talk about the honeymoon period in hospital. How do you know when the pancreas has finally packed up for good...

Thanks Mike d

Thankyou! It seems the number of variables that can send the readings shooting up/down is huge and I guess we will get to learn these as time progresses. It feels like we are just about doing up our laces and walking to the start line in this marathon.... She is on 24 units of Levemir in the...

Good Morning All, My 15 yr old daughter was diagnosed with T1 diabetes out of the blue almost three weeks ago, and after the initial shock and hospital stay we are now getting down to the business of managing her condition which I know will get easier but right now feels like a full time job...
