Hi All,
Since I have'nt been around for a good while, due to many personal reasons etc.
I thought having just posted a thread on the main section, I would do the same on here.
For those who have no idea whom I am, Im Heidi, mam, to the wonderful Nathan aged 16 and type 1 diabetic for 4 years.
Nathan is doing brilliant, last time I was on here we were in the process ofn having Nathans insulin changed, for various reasons, the change of insulin has been fantastic for Nathan, his past 3 hbs have been 6.7, 6.5 and 6.8, on MDI .
He hit the fab 16 years old, he has recently sat and finished his GCSE's, and is nervously awaitning his results. He has been accepted into 6th form in september studying Maths, Computing, Biology and Chemistry, although these are dependant on his grades when the results come out.
Although the GCSE's where frought with anxiety and drama on Nathans part, which I fully understand, his school where outstanding at catering for Nathans needs, allowing him to sit the exams seperately, allowing him regular breaks for the exams that exceeded an hour, in order for himm to do his blood and eat if he needed to etc. Allowing Nathan to sit seperatly enabled the exam officer to stop and start the clock if a situation arose, this wouldnt have been able to be done in the main exam hall. All exams passed with out a hitch or complication ...
As a reward for Nathan putting so much effort into revising, studying I decided to buy him an electric guitar ... at what point I thought this was a good idea, Im still trying to fathom out .... 😱.
I look forward to meeting those I havent and chatting to those I have ... 🙂
