Just need some support. My 2 1/2 grandson has type 1.
We just recently found out . His father also has type 1, thank god my
daughter and I seen the signs and convenced his father to test him at home.
My grandsons sugar level didn't even register on his fathers meter.
At the hospital his sugar level was at 850. He was lower to 350 and shiped
to Childerns Hospital. He is doing better now he is home.
I have alot to learn.
Any help would be greatly appreated.

Well, sorry to hear about your problems. In most cases T1 is quite easy
to control. The big problem is that children don't LIKE to test, get
shots, carry food, and sometimes not to eat what and when others do.

givers and relatives.... they have chat rooms where you can go express your
concerns and questions and get the help you need

how sad that at only 2 1/2 a child has to deal with diabetes..... but this
is a fact that many children do face and overcome....... their parents will
help you too sort your way thru this all

the web page is at http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/index_cwd.htm good
luck..... feel free to return here, or to alt.support.diabetes.org or
misc.health.diabetes.org for further questions.... i just feel that web site
will be more helpful for you

Being diagnosed so young has the advantage of skipping what newly
diagnosed adults go through. There is no real memories of a
non-diabetic life to give up and make adjustments to a new way of
life. But that doesn't mean that it will be a picnic. Kids rebel,
even diabetic kids. Kids also have different dietary needs than
adults and that doesn't change just because they are diabetic.

2 really good websites are http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.org and
http://www.insulin-pumpers.org The insulin pumpers web site is good
even if your grandson will not be using a pump. There are many
parents of type 1 children there to helpful advice from.
