I have 2 boys aged 9 & 11 both T1. The 9 year old diagnosed first when he was 5. I live in Spain and we use the same readings, my boys target for glucose readings is 80-180. It is hard and soul wrenching, I often wonder what I did wrong when I was pregnant with my boys. They have only asked once, why? I replied, it's the way you are made, they accepted it and Diabetes doesn't stop them doing what they want. Theh boys inject 5 times each per day and cope very well. It just takes time (and a good eye for when they 'cheat').
