Massive shock for us as well, and a lot to process for him & us. He’s been a champ though, doing his own injections within the first few days. He’s very active, plays a lot of sports so fending off the lows has been our main focus. Big thing we learned was that his insulin requirements were much less once he left hospital, so we had his ratios and overnight doses reduced. Also we got a freestyle libre, while definitely not 100% accurate, it’s been very helpful to identify trends and reduced the amount of finger pokes required. Wishing your daughter and your family all the best - this forum has been extremely helpful for us, all the way across the pond here in Canada. Hang in there!</p></blockquote><p></p>
