[QUOTE="emmamadi, post: 347289, member: 35668"] Hi :wave: I just wanted to sympathise with you. My son was diagnosed 19months ago aged 2 with Type 1 and I found it very hard to deal with at first. I think I spent about 6 months feeling very down and unable to move on. It is so hard to watch your child suffer and be unable to make things better for them. But, we are now a year and a half down the line, and while it is never 'easy', it is better. Watching your child have highs and lows multiple times a day is heartbreaking, but it does level out somehow and kind of become 'normal' (although a different type of normal). I have had to learn to give a bit when my son has high bloods as he can get a little grumpy and argumentative :twisted: sometimes, but we get there in the end :thumbup: Just to add, my son even at 2 years old hated lantus (he said it hurt him very bad) but once he had levemir it was much better for him. He now has an insulin pump so has changed again, but I do remember the lantus was an issue at the time, Emma [/QUOTE]
