[QUOTE="louby, post: 433737, member: 85405"] Hi Misty1 and Sw11bloke, thanks both for all your comments and communication. Is a huge help to us both. We will look at the various options you have mentioned. Thanks esp to sw11bloke for your comments regarding how annoying it is about parents asking all the time, I am trying not to do this, as I am sure my son will soon get sick of it, and realise he will have to manage this himself. The daphne course sounds brilliant i have read up on this and also our DN spoke about it and has put his name forward. I think this will be so beneficial to us both. My son is certainly eating healthier now, cutting out snacking, althought today before tea was 4.9 then before bed was 21.1 (he had pasta) gave him quite a shock and think he is understanding the carbs thing now. As its early days and we are not too sure about this counting carbs thing he is cutting back on portion size re carbs, and adding more fruits and vegetables in. Will definatley ask about that new insulin as sounds like you have good control with that and also the pump you mentioned, may mention this at our next appointment. Today Misty1 i rang the nurse at the gp surgery (who was a bit useless when we saw her, the one at the hosp it fantastic) and managed to order a double quantity of test strips so at least that is off my mind now. How long have you had type 1 sw11bloke? and how long does it usually take to become stable. Thanks both for your help. x [/QUOTE]
