Thanks Pipp. He's away at Uni so I'm going to pack up a parcel of potential remedies to pop in the post and encourage a dermatology appointment.

Thanks for the tips Juicyj, will give both of those a try.

Hi My son, aged 20 has very itchy skin all over his body and the doctor has attributed this to his T1 and said that it'll come and go throughout his life. He has been prescribed antibiotics, a cream for scabies and a standard moisturiser. Has anyone else had experience of this? Any suggestions...

Hi all. Looking for advice please. My son, aged just 17 and T1, is learning to drive and I want to make sure I haven't missed anything! He has provisional licence, DVLA informed. We have informed the insurance company and the driving instructor, and he tests his BG to ensure 5 before driving...

My son who is Type 1 will be 17 in a couple of weeks and is desperate to drive! He has his provisional licence through - no endorsements apart from renew after 3 years. Any tips or advice on learner driver insurance policies would be greatly appreciated. Marmalade seem to be recommend for teen...

Thank you all for your replies, it's reassuring to hear from others experiencing the same challenges! We've never done a fasting test so I will look into this and reduce basal a little. Thanks again and best wishes t you all!

Hi, my son aged 16 was diagnosed T1 last May. He's been a star and maintained his levels between 4-7 with one Glargine injection a day plus Novorapid before meals according to carb count. This past week he has needed virtually no Novorapid to maintain the 4-7 level. We are thinking that his own...

No problem, thanks for your tips - I'll get hold of one and let my son give it a go.

Thank you Robert for your advice - great to know I have a personal adviser on this technical stiff, much appreciated!! I will check with our DN at Southampton tomorrow whether it's available on NHS or order from Boots and let him give it a go- anything to make it less hassle for a newly...

Thanks Robert. He is currently on iPhone 4s but upgrading - Xmas pressie- to 5s, So, does that mean an extra 'widget' is needed? It all looks very small and easy to lose !! I'm guessing the strips are not NHS funded, so £20 for 50 sounds a bit steep.Thanks, tips much appreciated!

Hi, My son, T1, is a bit of a gadget fan and would like to try the iBG Star. Does anyone have any experience they would like to share, pls- good or bad! Many thanks

Re: Need some advice :) Good morning Lucy, I'm pleased that your hubby is doing so well, and pleased for him too that he has your support. This forum is a great source of info, but sometimes it worries the life out of me too that some folks have such a hard time controlling their levels, so I...

Hi Rachy, hope you are feeling a bit better! Would I be guessing right at hangover perhaps? My son, 16 years and recently T1 diagnosed, had a 'serious' talking to by diabetes doctor this week. Basically, if you have alcohol and feel rough in the morning please get yourself to the diabetes team -...

Fantastic, well done you - those kids will go home and chat to their parents and spreading info is a great thing. I love that you took the emphasis away from the quality of your dancing too- more important matters at hand! My teenage boys would be 'mortified' if I even wiggled a hip so good on you!

Hi Louby, so glad that your son is doing so well, and that you are so positive - like minded mum! All best wishes x
