Hes not moving downhill, but hes not moving uphill either. I would expect if this was all just a 'viral issue' as they call it, he would be at least starting to get better. Its like being in limbo. I'm really trying not to worry, while still keeping an eye on him, and still trying to keep the normality going. I have 2 other children and I can see its affecting them, esp the older one who is getting jealous. Stuart is so grumpy and tired and lies about wanting to watch Tv all the time, hiding under a blanket. My older one gets so annoyed with him coz he wont play and when he does he 'isnt playing nicely'. I feel like I'm pushing the baby aside with my worry over stuart. He gets fed etc and put down again, unloved!Your story about your son, is like you say, like so many others. Its that which fears me the most. I can invisage us being there with the same thing, yet me knowing all this and not gettin it fixed. I keep thinking just when I see him, thats something is wrong. Something just isnt right, its not normal to be like this. Yet one minute he seems ok, then the next lying around like hes just run a marathon. There is nothin I can do until it does (or doesnt) get to the next stage. Our Local GP is keeping a better eye on him than the hospital were prepared to do. it gives me little faith in the hospital. But as you say its their lack of knowledge on T1 that is the problem. They arent even prepared to see that there is such as thing as glucose intolerance prior to getting diabetes. This is something that 2 senior GPs have told me and you guys all seem to agree. You all have stories of your kids getting progressively worse. Like you say I need to keep at them. Ia'm going to go back to the GP again next week if nothin has changed (either for the better or the worse) and push them to do a full blood test. I know he wont like it but something needs to be done this has gone on too long.In a way I wish he did have diabetes then at least we could help him and he could be getting better, its somthing i dont want him to have but I'm sure you see my point.xx</blockquote>
