Thanks for your reply, this morning he seems to be a lot higher and I’m not sure if he is meant to do a correction dose! I have so many questions I seem to think of loads ask them and then a couple of days later have even more he is totally taking it in his stride he was very upset to begin...

My 14yr old son is newly diagnosed type 1 (hospitalised Monday) we got home on Thursday and they gave him a prescription for 1 libre 3 sensor and 1 libre 2 plus.

Yes there is an a&e about 20 miles away. We are a bit out in the sticks there is no walk in clinic type thing that I’m aware of, he says he doesn’t want to go to hospital but every single time we phone for doctor we get told there is no appointments and to see a nurse practitioner which is of...
