Christophersmom posted a status"CHristopher has been sick for 3 days with a stomach bug. No throwing up- thank God!!! But it makes me so upset that he has diabetes."
Christophersmom replied to Alissa's discussion 'Morning Tummy Aches - Daily. Why?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son, Christopher is 10 and was diagnosed at 9 last January. It is not unusual for him to have stomach aches in the morning. Sometimes if it happens more than once I put him in Miralax just to make sure he is regular. Sometimes it helps. I think…"
Nancy replied to Christophersmom's discussion 'My son uses the omnipod and we're dealing with dinnertime lows PLEASE READ AND ADVISE!' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi Kristina,
I agree with everyone's input that his basal rate for late afternoon to evening needs to be lowered. Best way to figure it out is to test more frequently, write down the results and look for the trend. Your endo should…"
Hockey Mom replied to Christophersmom's discussion 'My son uses the omnipod and we're dealing with dinnertime lows PLEASE READ AND ADVISE!' in the group OmniPod Users"Hopefully you were able to get some help today at the CDE. Definately find the SUSPEND button at the bottom of the menu. Two hours is the max it will allow and then it should reset itself to basal. It is hard to get up when you are…"
Brad Ringer replied to Christophersmom's discussion 'My son uses the omnipod and we're dealing with dinnertime lows PLEASE READ AND ADVISE!' in the group OmniPod Users"I have had issues with my settings when I have been sick.

Natasha Bowlds replied to Christophersmom's discussion 'My son uses the omnipod and we're dealing with dinnertime lows PLEASE READ AND ADVISE!' in the group Omnipod Users"This reminded me of what I was going to add about the 8-11 time frame. My son is like clockwork as far as blood sugars dropping 6-8 hours after sports. If he plays outside after school - he's low at 9 PM. If he has an evening…"
ginny-e replied to Christophersmom's discussion 'My son uses the omnipod and we're dealing with dinnertime lows PLEASE READ AND ADVISE!' in the group Omnipod Users"I would definately try and talk with your doctor (or perhaps a second opinion) about adjusting either basals or bolus's or both. Also, you might want to talk to a dietician about proper foods and timing of them that can help mitigate this…"
Natasha Bowlds replied to Christophersmom's discussion 'My son uses the omnipod and we're dealing with dinnertime lows PLEASE READ AND ADVISE!' in the group Omnipod Users"Hi Kristina,
My son is also 10, and was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago.
First of all, I have read that it's pretty common for it to take a while (like sometimes months) for your stomach to fully recover and be able to absorb food like it did…"
