Hi parents,

I’ve not been on here for a while but with having good news each time we’ve seen the DN I wanted to share it!
My son, Jayden, 11 diagnosed T1 on the 8th June 2018, some ups and downs but generally coping well
Diagnosis was well over 133, came down to 62, 46 then it was 48 on Friday. The look on Jaydens face is just priceless to know we must be doing something right - proud mum moment,

A smashing result from a smashing lad with an extra smashing Mum. Great work!
 
Good to hear from you, @Jayden2407 . You and your young man seem to be doing incredibly well. It's good to see.

Keep fighting the good fight.
 
Its never easy raising sons but you and yours are inspirational! So lovely to hear.
 
Well done, great result. We’ve got clinic next week with my 7 year old, dx 3 years now. Always a tense time!x
 
My girl is 13 and her HbA1c is 38 and has been for 6 months now. I can't take any credit for it though as she does all the work herself. Well done to you and your boy x

My 4 year old sons last HbA1c was 48 in September. It's actually been in the late 40's all year, which I've been very pleased about.

That’s fab! How old was your son when diagnosed?
I suppose it’s hard and a huge shock at any age isn’t it... but I’m glad my son didn’t reached his teens before his diagnosis!
Your boy is so cute (just looked at your profile pic)

Thank you!
That’s so good! I bet you’re so proud of her
I hope my son takes control well when he’s older, I’m still counting all his carbs at the min but he’s only just turned 11.

8 days before her 11th birthday. I was diagnosed 5 days before her. It was a crazy time. She's amazing though and just takes it all in her stride x

Wow that’s amazing! Are you both type 1? I can imagine it was a crazy time.. do you have any other children? She’s doing so well doing everything on her own.
I have a 2 year old and I test her every now and again as I believe it’s hereditary. At least I’ll know what to look out for and to deal with it - what will be will be I suppose x
 
I have another daughter who is almost 16. I was 31 when diagnosed so we can't say she'll never be diabetic but we'll keep our fingers crossed! Yes, both type 1 x
