[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2212993, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=501042]@Triscornia[/USER] This is a good course to help build knowledge: [URL]https://www.bertieonline.org.uk/[/URL] 'Think like a pancreas' by Gary Scheiner available on Amazon, is a really useful book to read. Unsure of your son's age but children have growth hormones which affect their insulin usage, as well as other variables like exercise, stress, other hormonal activity, sleep, and many other factors which can impact on the individual and these variables make stable control difficult and are outside our capability to manage the condition as effectively as we'd like. I would suggest getting back in touch with your DSN to discuss his control with them and ask for more support, they may be able to offer him a pump which would help micro manage his control more easily and combined with a continuous glucose monitor, it would help you cope better, if you can self fund then the Dexcom G6 is great as you would be alerted by smart phone to what's happening with him as it can link to other users, this system also has an alert which will tell you if he's going high/low. In regards to courses, there's some useful info on the JDRF website here, although ignore DAFNE as this is only available to adults: [URL]https://jdrf.org.uk/information-support/managing-type-1-diabetes-3/type-1-diabetes-management-skills/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
