Hi, my Jason, 16 yo, dx 8/26/12, is in Honeymoon in a big way. I am looking for ideas, portable and quick, for after school. He is running a bit low and with his. After school working out, he drops. Some days he can eat, and not bolts, for up to 100 carbs, and still drop!As he is in honeymoon. He is currently only taking language, and prior to a round of flu, was also bolusing for meals.So I am looking for higher carb, with some protein, that can be quick, and stored in a backpack.Open to…See More

ProudMama posted a blog postWhen do I stop feeling guilty and sad and....................
I throw this out, because I am not sure what else to do. My son was diagnosed ~ 6 weeks ago, August 26, 2012. And I think he is doing better than I am at this point. About 3 weeks before being diagnosed, he is 16, we noticed on a vacation that he was drinking more and thus going to the bathroom more. But, we were headed to a water park and we knew he was nervous, so we attributed it to that. And it did seem to calm, if not go away after this trip. But diabetes crossed my mind, but never got any…See More
Spock replied to ProudMama's discussion 'New to Type 1, and Two Homes???'"He needs to learn to control his Type 1 by himself. I do not mean to sound harsh, but the best thing YOU can do for him is to teach him to take control of his Type 1. He is 16, and old enough to work out the situations. If "they just leave the…"
Stuart replied to ProudMama's discussion 'New to Type 1, and Two Homes???'"Hello Amy:
