Evening all, well what a rollercoaster it’s been for the past 3 weeks, son 9 type 1 diabetes, so unexpected. He’s took to it amazingly, the first 2 weeks was like our worst nightmare, he was a totally out of control child, his whole world torn upside down and he wasn’t quite sure, well 3 weeks on and it’s likehaving my son back, he’s dping his own Insulin and he’s enjoying carb counting, I’m so anal about everything so we are finding it pretty straight forward, pre sports or activities is where I’m struggling with him, had quite a few hypos, the worrying thing is he has no signs he’s low, well the only obvious sign he’s very aggressive, he’s got to 2.3 and not felt any different, I’m so worried that it will go unnoticed at school and he’s gping to end up pretty poorly, has anyone got any snack ideas for pre sports, he’s a really energetic boy and never sits still, I understand he’s in the honeymoon period at the minute so up and down levels are normal but I want to try and find something that will keep his levels where they need to be and not keep crashing! Sorry for long post
