[QUOTE="bos5, post: 184148, member: 33048"] 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 Carb counting course yet but I bought the book recommended by the dietician and I now realise how much insulin v's carbs now and spoke to the nurse about this. She is starting to realise now what is best to eat and what nots and to carry snacks etc on her. The nurses are controlling her insulin at the moment and at least when we called with low blood sugar counts they advised us that we can reduce the insulin if things get to low so at least we feel we have some control over diet and insulin now. Its all a steep learning curve and we will get there, this site has been more supportive than anything we have received so far. No councelling or support just get on with it kind off thing. We will be going on a course soon and this will help greatly I'm sure. Thank you once again for all your understanding of both my daughter and my situation. [/QUOTE]
