[QUOTE="Garymurday87, post: 1569988, member: 405489"] Hello , my 2 year old little boy was diagnosed around the end of May . We are now nearly 5 months in and to be honest with you we are still coming to terms with it all. Like anything you will have good days and you will have bad days, Some days we think why does our little boy have this condition. Why is it not a murderer of a pedo ( sorry) but then we are thankful we have him, it could be much worse, there are a lot worse conditions that he could have. The biggest thing we said was that diabetes will have to fit around our life not the other way round . We haven’t let his condition interrupt his life at all. we have been on 2 family holidays to Spain. which although we was dreading it turned out to be just what we needed as a family. He has been enrolled in a little kickers football classes which he attends on weekends and he goes to kiddie gymnastics. We also try and go to a restaurant once a week. Our thought process is that if we get him keen on sports in the years to come if he wants to be the best in his sport he needs to always keep on top of his numbers else he wont be able to play at the top of his ability . We are around 2 months into carb counting which to be honest is a ball ache ( sorry for the language) each night after we put Jack to sleep myself and my wife plans his meals for the next day . just so its not a rush when the time comes to serve his meal, we can just do his sugars and insulin knowing we already know the carb number we have to input into his monitor . We are still trying to get this right though , I would say at least 1 out of every 2 weeks the nurses are adjusting his carb to ratio levels . we have got his morning numbers bang on now , but his dinner time readings can be quite high . its all just trial and error , and I have been told it will be like this until he is 25 due to his body continuing growing. It probably seems the worst thing in life at the min. But as each days ends you will learn to accept the disease, as a family it’s been very hard for us. My wife still hasn’t gone back to work yet , She is due to start back at her school next week. So this is our next big hurdle in order to try and gain back a normal as can be life . I just hope in the near future there is a cure for this. I have been reading about PEC DIRECT. This looks promising , At the beginning of the year they cured 2 people with their product , they have just started a 50 plus person clinical trial with the results to be published early 2018, so fingers crossed , [/QUOTE]
