My son (14yo) doesn't want me doing anything to him in his sleep. I wake him up to test and he does his own correction. He does not wake up on...
I can look back and see quite definite signs 6 months prior. My intuition tells me things started to go bad about a year prior to dx. We did not...
First I appreciate the thread. There isn't a lot of discussion on MDI. It has been nice to read what others do. The phone app I mentioned is...
Hello, my son is 14yo. We are much less specific/structured in what we'd because teens are erratic and I have much less control over his choices....
I didn't know insulin was a weight gain hormone. Diet is such a hard thing to get a handle on without T1D and the already there hyper focus on...
That happens to Luke every once in awhile. It hasn't been an ongoing problem. He releases the pinch first. Actually I don't think he pinches...
Over time a good match/relationship with the endo is going to be a big asset for your son. I think it is definitely worth meeting/interviewing...
Lol. They do sleep like the dead. I have to sit and watch Luke eat/drink and get stern with him. If I leave he puts it in the table - never...
If being very active or correcting a low he'll come up 5-25 points. If he is just sitting around at say 100 with no activity and no insulin on...
We had a big increase in insulin at 6mos and I sort of think he is out of honeymoon because of the increased insulin needs and free foods are not...
Lol. I'm glad it all got worked out. My kid never washes his hands first. I make him wash and retest before treating a very high number. He...
How did it go? We went to pool party shortly after. Lots of testing, going low, and eating drinking. It went fine and glad we went but...
Personally I would not risk the lows to get even tighter numbers. I'm far from an expert though. My son is 14. Diagnosed one year ago at 13....
I think it is preferable but my kid won't do it. I do get him to pre-bolus every once in awhile but he hates it for some reason. If he ever...
I second this post :) You can write the IEP to include whatever support you deem appropriate for school functions. Personally I'd rather have a...
My 14yo has permission to keep his phone on and with him but on vibrate. This was not an issue. He got in trouble for random alerts but I showed...
It is in the air! Spring? I just increased my son's carb ratio to 1:10 across the board. If that doesn't work - up goes the basal. My son is...
Every three months but we are also new to it (creeping up on one year). My kid would never ever make a change based on my input alone so we'll...
It is probably different everywhere. For us it went like this. Typical weight, measurement, blood pressure before the appointment. Get in the...
My insurance has high co-pays and high deductibles. The initial diagnosis, transport to children's hospital, PICU, and hospital stay was...
