Hi there
I am new to the whole diabetes game and to on-line forums. My 9 year old boy was diagnosed 6 weeks ago after I noticed he was going to the loo and drinking more than usual. As a health professional myself I was immediately suspicious but felt a real lump in the throat when he came up with high sugars on a urine test. Off to hospital we went and a whole new world opened up to us! It's a steep learning curve and together with the disturbed nights it is very reminiscent of early baby days
. We are currently on basal /bolus and carb-counting obsessively but all is going well with school in particular being very supportive and the paediatric diabetes nurses really good. We have managed our first party , swimming lessons and play-dates at our house but still not sure about leaving him with anyone else although we are teaching friends how to check sugars/hypo advice etc. Look forward to friendly advice!🙂
