Hi All
I am not diabetic but my 14 year old son is.
He was diagnosed at the age of 2 so his diabetes is mine
Thought i might join the forum as change of regime brings more stress

Anyway thats me no doubt will be plenty of posts

Hi Catherine, welcome to the forum 🙂 What regime is he changing from/to? Lots of parents here to pick their brains!
 
Hi Catherine and a warm welcome to the forum
 
Hi Catherine
I have two sons with type 1; youngest now 11 diagnosed at 18 months and eldest now 13 and diagnosed at 8 years.
They both use insulin pumps and sensors now but we have been through every regime you can imagine, and every stage of school, and am now entering the joys of puberty and growth hormone.
My eldest has been instructed to stop growing but he is not listening to me! 🙂
 
Hi Catherine, welcome to the forum.
 
welcome from me too

hi i'm a parent of a type 1 child, my little boy was 2yr 6m when diagnosed just 4 months ago.

it'll be good to learn from you as you learn from others and we all support each other along the way 🙂

Hi Catherine & welcome. As it's your son who has type 1, you can change your "Type of diabetes" to parent / carer / none. You're welcome in any part of messageboard, but there's a Parents section, where you might find particular help / advice.
