[QUOTE="Whirl2, post: 1627410, member: 444699"] Hi sorry to hear you are finding things tough. My daughter is 6 and was diagnosed this September, we are still in honeymoon phase, though I don't find it very honeymoon as she has hypos every morning even though her insulin has been reduced alot, but we will get there. I can't offer much advise but know what you are doing for your son is amazing looking after him and it's not easy and you are doing a fantastic job, make sure you take time for yourself even if it is just an hour you have to look after you. Also speak to your nurse about groups mine set us up for a support group with our local diabetes UK group. We have already been to a evening at a trampoline Park and they have arranged a Christmas party and a panto trip, even if you dont get talking to the parents it's nice to know for you and your son you aren't the only ones.
