wow didn't I start a discussion 😉
I make sure she is having some carbs with each meal. Our DSN's are great if I'm at all worried I phone them and we adjust the doses. Since she went back to school and is having school dinners they suggested adding an extra unit for pudding for example.
I suppose from the point of view of being a parent. I kind of agree with Bev you would do anything to get those levels down, but then the other side is all of sudden you've got this massive life changing thing to deal with and I felt so guilty I had missed the signs for almost 6 weeks when she was diagnosed. I was confused, upset, exhausted and emotionally drained. She spent 3 days in hospital and I took so much information on board about the basics. I'm really not sure I could have coped with anything else. We have a clinc appointment in a few weeks and I wonder whether carb counting will be discussed then, to be honest I will probably ask, and after almost two months from diagnosis feel I am in a better place to understand everything. 🙂
BTW thanks guys because this site has been invaluable and I am in no way knocking your opinions.
