[QUOTE="EmmaRW0811, post: 1311203, member: 353891"] Good morning all. It's now a week since my husband and I had the conversation of "do you think we should take A [our son who will be 10 in two weeks] to see a doctor about his needing to wee all the time?" He was diagnosed with diabetes at 10 pm last Sunday and gave himself his first insulin injection at 8am on Monday morning- which we now know was World Diabetes Day - what brilliant timing he has. It's been quite a week! We've learnt to count carbs (he's currently eating exact numbers as they work out his doses), he's learnt to do blood tests, injections and to wait until meal times before eating. I've done more cooking from scratch than ever and I've learnt how to organise electronic prescriptions at the doctors and pharmacists. The school has been given supplies and training and the Afterschool club is working out how I can give him 15g carbs snacks that also aren't going to affect the boy with extreme nut allergies... A went back to school for Friday afternoon, we hope we can be back to Afterschool club as well by Tuesday. [/QUOTE]
