Hi there, we have just passed our first year anniversary of my son’s diagnosis of type1. It was a very difficult year to say the least and I thought by now we would have mastered it but no. Seriously We don’t understand how we can give him the same foods and it reacts in totally different ways. It’s very frustrating to say the least. If he is low going to bed we give him a biscuits bring up his level, that same biscuit on one night could bring him to the level we want and another night hardly move. Now my Dr said never give him biscuits but a banana or yogurt. I feel we have no idea yet what we are doing and need a course. I check my son every night at 2am and sometimes have to wake him because he is low but normally he is ok, the other night I went out and didn’t check him and he was low all night and was upset I didn’t check him as I think he is afraid of what could happen. Like is it ever going to get better as I write this my eyes well up, he is still so thin it’s heartbreaking. Does anyone know of a course we go on in the UK? We were explained about it in hospital but really not enough. Thanks.
