[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 200421, member: 17713"] [b]Re: Diabetic son will not stop eating high sugar and high ca[/b] I actually got introduced to people with amputations 25 years ago by my DSN then. My friend also had her leg amputated-hers wasn't through diabetes though, but it was through a disease rather than amputation. I thought I might have got a horrified reaction by suggesting the picture in a toilet... Perhaps an accuchek expert would help as they can have alarms set on them to go off as reminders...if he would be willing to take it with him. It also has some good reports on it that will show him how good or bad he is.....I saw somebody today at hospital that had been given an expert machine..but he hadn't looked at the reports....then when we were together chatting we went through the menu's together (my pump remote is basically the same)...when he looked he was horrified to realised that more than 80% were high and less than 20% were normal...and no lows etc.....he wasn't a teenager though....and been diabetic for longer than me!!!! (25 years+) Didn't wish to sound awful when I said about putting up a poster...but I do agree that speaking and seeing somebody that has had an amputation may be a good thing for your son.....howeveer don't know how HCP's stand nowadays on using these sort of shock tactics that I was given.....I was also told I WILL get complications...but I haven't yet.
