[QUOTE="ZoesMum, post: 45959, member: 13747"] Just thought I would let you all know that we had a long visit with one of Zoe's care team yesterday. We are cutting right back on the insulin as she thinks that its possible that the high doses might actually be causing "rebound" highs, rather than genuine highs. For me this explanation makes sense with how Zoe has been. But with such huge swings, its no surprise she has been feeling so awful. We are going to monitor the sugar in her urine, which is something we havent done before. We are going to get her some blood tests to make sure nothing else is wrong - check her thyroid and her iron. We also talked about relaxing about the whole thing, edging her towards DAFNE while still acknowledging that she needs a good routine. And...I need to back off a bit and stop giving her such a hard time! She is going to see a counsellor to help her get her head round all of this - talking to someone outside of the family or the team so she learn to cope better herself. Our lives have revolved around nothing else but diabetes this last three weeks and that puts trememdous pressure on her, and indeed all of us. So today we are going to the cinema together, and having a family afternoon. Zoe seems much happier and I feel a bit more relaxed. Thank you all so much for your help and support, Im sure I will be a regular visitor now, and Zoe says she will start logging on and chatting again. [/QUOTE]
