[QUOTE="suzi, post: 85122, member: 11767"] Hi, Emma & Charlie, Our children certainly are remarkable, is never amazes me how adaptable they are. It's hard to believe its 9 mths since Chloes diagnosis, i still remember her 1st posts, such an endearing, capable and mature young lady. One thing i'll say to both of you, is it does get easier, Andrew is now almost 3 and 1/2 yrs down the line, we've had our tears, our joys, & our slip ups, but at the end of the day his acceptance of his condition is amazing. Being Coeliac puts the dampner on things, as we've learnt he can have that luxury chocolate mouse as a treat providing he adjusts his insulin (Levemir basal & humalog bolus) but a no no to the large sponge cake. I'll admit we did become very complacent there over a period of a couple of months to the result of his Hbac1 going up to 10.2 which was a real punch to the system and were now tighter controlled than we've ever been (if he needs a correction dose inbetween, he'll happily take it, and he's already on 4 a day) By the end of July we'll find out how far down we've got it down. Our health care is 1st class, we have a diabetic team that organise Christmas, Halloween and Easter parties, sports day, ten pin bowling events and get togethers. Andrews DN is even bringing the Hbac1 machine to our local clinic to save me travelling as its inbetween hospital appointments. She's always at the end of a phone, and the rest of her team including dietitian, podiatrist and Dr are equally as good. We're very fortunate, i know not eveyone is as lucky. Charlie, Zac is doing remarkably well, and its often us parents who are unintentionally forgotten about, thankfully this forum exists for us to support and help each other. Emma, say hi to Chloe for me. Big (((hugs))) to you both and take care Suzi x [/QUOTE]
