[QUOTE="worzel321, post: 28968, member: 12093"] Hello there, I have just found and joined the forum and am amazed at the amount of advice and guidance that is given here. I am the mum of a 9 year old Type 1 diabetic - Katie. She was diagnosed on 02.11.2008 - almost the 1 year anniversary - but still feel very new to it. It came as a huge shock when Katie was diagnosed and there is just so much to learn. Katie tests 4 times a day and injects twice. Her hba1c, over the year has been : 12, 11.5, 11.4, 10.9 and then last week was up to 12.2 ! I am really very surprised at these high results and am worried that they are like this. Her BS readings are often high - she is rarely below 10 and often in the mid to high 20's. Reading the postings on here I realised that the majority of people are well below 10 most of the time. The consultant and nurse do not seem particularly worried though. I gather they still consider her to still be "newly diagnosed" so bound to be unsteady. They do tweak her insulin here and there but I am now thinking perhaps I am right to be worried. Any ideas please ? [/QUOTE]
