[QUOTE="newtonj, post: 1201299, member: 261291"] Hello there! I was diagnosed with Type 1 @ age 9, 18 years ago, and started off with only 3 units per day! I stayed on a low dosage for a while, and I remember being told I was in the 'honeymoon' period, where my body was still making a lot of its own insulin. Looking back, I often used to eat things I shouldn't have, and lived with high blood sugar readings and used to have such terrible control, if any at all. But then the care back then wasn't what it is now at all. There was no such thing as carb counting and I didn't have a clue what I was doing. The diabetes teams are so much more clued up now than they used to be, and I definitely agree that the increase needed for her basal, could be due to growth spurts. If I put on weight, I always need more basal. And If I lose weight, I always need less. So I suppose it makes sense! I really do admire you as a mum looking after a diabetic child, I know I put my mum through hell with worry, and I admire anyone who's doing the same for their child now xxx Keep it up, you're a life saver :) [/QUOTE]
