[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2082237, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=479207]@Kayleigh1008[/USER], Welcome to the club as a patent, carer and dynamic force in the universe and your family. As a TID, not as health professional advice or opinion: Please look at the Home page under Living With Diabetes in the middle of the horizontal menu bar, to see things about acceptable blood sugar levels (BSLs) for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Plus pls see a section on hypoglycaemia hypo- low, -glyc- = glucose, -aemia = in the blood, or 'hypo' for short. Also under Type 1 and under Type 2 on the horizontal menu again you can see the range of diets used with each type of diabetes. The NICE guidelines which are a UK standard of medical care based on evidence have recently denoted the low carb diet as the 'best in class', so to speak, of diets for Type 2 diabetes. Still nothing definite on the NICE guidelines for Type I diabetes diet-wise but each diet can involve carb couting and in interests of considering all the options please include a journey on the internet to type 1 true grit website. For your hubbie, if interested, reading Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution will get him full bottle on low carb diet. As a type 1 on insulin now for 52 years please let Finley know that he has a bright future, especially with all the improvements in diabetes in the past 50 years! As i think you are inferring the risk of hypos in young children is worrying.. If your son's doctor was perhaps more switched on things like the pros and cons of insulin pumps, the use of continuous glucose monitoring could be raised in this regard as potential hedges against occurrence of hypos and there is no reason not to read up about them and try to get an answer, and standing firm until you have one. Consultants have a duty of care as does every doctor, nurse and other healthcare worker to give you unbiased, truthful and full information so that as parents and patients you receive the best information with which to make decisions. You may wish to also use the question box, upper screen of either the Home or Forum page to look up 'DCCT', not the dcct which is about units of a laboratory test but about the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and, to a lesser degree for now, the follow up EDIC study. This information will help inform you about the vital importance for Finley to able to achieve the best possible control if BSLs in thr next 6 1/2 years, if you wish as patents to interpret the trials findings that way. A clue to this is looking at drludwig.blog, about a survey of diabetic children and adults through Boston Children's Hospital and the results for HBAIC ( blood test of bsl type average over previous 3 months) and showing very low frequency of hypos) Please PM if you wish to know more. Best Wishes:):):) Nothing is.........It is all about..............and about being.......and lots of Impossible.........B...l.....nc.................brave even when.....Hugs always :............................a.....a......e:..............things look scary......help [ATTACH]33911[/ATTACH] .....[ATTACH]33912[/ATTACH] ........[ATTACH]33913[/ATTACH] ....[ATTACH]33914[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
