[QUOTE="JustLucky, post: 2459784, member: 540383"] Hi, everyone. I was diagnosed just a year ago with type 1. Unfortunately my wife's little cousin (he's almost 13) has been diagnosed with T1 just a few days ago after the usual symptoms. He is still in the hospital but BG is OK now, feels well now and together with his parents he's starting the education these days with the nurses and doctors. He should be home in a couple of weeks or so... He'll get a Libre sometime soon. I've told his parents to go slow and first to listen to the doctors and nurses, but still they are asking a ton of questions. As I don't feel that confident in giving advice to children (or young teenagers) as I've been diagnosed at 35... any kind of advice here would be much appreciated, particularly concerning the kids wanting to play football and run around all day :cool: without having a hypo every 5 minutes. How do you manage school, meals and insulin? What kind of challenges to expect? Thanks for sharing your experience. [/QUOTE]
