Barbi replied to aimeeh2oski's discussion 'Behavior problems in T1 children' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Our T1D child also had some ...let's say, mercurial episodes when he was younger.... we did learn ways to help him (and us!) as well as changing patterns and routines to be more suited to his temperament. I understand how this kind of negative…"

Barbi replied to Aidan's Mom's discussion 'Lost, 1 week post T1 diagnosis' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I am not a doctor - but I have never heard of a child not being put on insulin. Also checking bg only twice a day seems very...hmmm non pro-active. I recommend getting a second opinion. As in all things ymmv.

Barbi commented on Penny R.'s group 'parents of kids with Type 1'"All - The comment by Gary and all the responses reminded me of a study "Chronic sorrow in parents of children with type one diabetes" published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing (2009) I have attached it here.…"
Barbi replied to Theo Pella's discussion 'How to deal with Friends and or relatives that mean well, but just don't get it.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"MDI means multiple daily injections - so a regimen of shots rather than a pump."
Barbi replied to SANTI's discussion 'SCARY LOW EVENT - SYNTHOMS?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Yikes - so scary! Not sure what your bg checking regimen is at night - when did you check him prior to the low? When Malcolm (dx@2/1996) was little we would check him at 10/midnight/2am - no CGMs back then - have you considered a CGM?"
Barbi replied to Theo Pella's discussion 'How to deal with Friends and or relatives that mean well, but just don't get it.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi Theo -
My take: if people choose not to understand or to attend how important D care is you can't make them - it is like they have blinders on - they can't see what is going on inside the body so they ignore it... I know this…"

Barbi replied to Smmtc's discussion 'Uncontrolled Diabetic Son'"Hi Smmtc - I can imagine how frightening this is for you and your family - and especially your son!! My youngest son is now 18 - he was dx when he was 2. It is to be expected that your son will hate his D - the question is how to get him to want to…"
Barbi replied to Blondie's discussion 'Jumping Through The Hoops To Get A Pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi Blondie - My son has been pumping for over 14 years - started the week he turned 4 - dx@ 2.5. I agree with several replies that suggest you look for a new endo group - to suggest that the A1C has to be better prior to start is nonsense. Not sure…"
