[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 247276, member: 13077"] My son was 8 months old when dx'd and turned 5 last December. He can eat anything and do anything he is capable. Sometimes it takes a bit of planning to get through the day. I did used to check his blood sugar once or twice a night but now I only check him at 10pm before I go to bed unless I have some reason to check him in the wee hours of the morning. The initial shock of dx is awful and I must admit to having a bit of a breakdown in the hospital. I try to do all the finger pricks and injections like it is just a normal part of his day. He doesn't get particular praise and he doesn't get coddled. My son certainly doesn't remember a time that he didn't get a finger prick before ate and actually associates the finger prick with meals. Anyway, glad to read that you have discovered life goes on and it isn't so bad ... just relentless. :D [/QUOTE]
