[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 194262, member: 13077"] Sorry to hear you haven't had help in getting a diagnosis even though they are happy to tell you it is not diabetes related???? Does the pain relate to when her levels are high? How often are you testing so you can avoid some big peaks? You might actually find things improve when she no longer produces her own insulin. It will be really helpful if you can find some regular meal/snack patterns while she is still honeymooning as it will be a bit easier in the long run. My son is now 4.5yrs and been diagnosed from when he was 8 months old and has always had 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. He isn't really restricted in what he eats and I count his carbohydrates to give fairly accurate insulin doses (2 X Levemir and 3 X Novorapid). It works most of the time but diabetes has a mind of its own on occassion. I test Khaleb on average 7 times a day - before and 2.5 hours after meals and before I go to bed at night. I often test in the wee hours of the morning also. I've heard many diagnosis disasters and I think myself lucky that the nurse I first met in the Emergency Department did a bsl but I did stress about his thirst 2 days before. With a bsl of 86 Khaleb was still conscious and not vomitting and was quite happy to fight the doctors trying to find a vein for the drip. He started getting thirsty on a Monday and early Wednesday morning he was in intensive care. Keep complaining if the hands and feet don't improve as it isn't something your daughter would be making up and they should take it seriously. [/QUOTE]
