The person who has taught me most - my 3 and a half year old son

- Wel ek haal nog steeds my hoed af vir jou - hoe weet jy wanneer sy suiker laag/hoog is? reageer hy anders? My kind kan darem vir my sê hy voel sleg. BTW. My seun is 13 in Januarie en was 6 toe hy gediagnoseer is Mei 2002. Soos ek gese het is ons op Vryburg en ek het ure op die internet gesit en navorsing doen. Die Drs hier is regtig nie vreeslik opgelei in diabetes nie en ek het geleer om self te cope. JH is nou net langer as 'n jaar op die pomp - wonderlike ding! By wie is julle in Pta? Hoe kry jy jou pomp benodighede. Ons het alles in bulk gekoop en het nog nie nodig gehad om weer aan te koop nie, maar ek sien ons gaan een van die dae weer moet aankoop.
