You must feel like you were left hanging a bit. I would wonder if a very small amount of a long acting insulin (lantus) might be a strategy. I am so sorry you are dealing with this- along with diagnosis…"

I am so sorry, and it is hard to imagine what that feels like in your situation. I have heard that illness could make blood sugars skyrocket. Sounds like there is a lot going on in your son's body, and you could use help, not blaming, to…"

I am also so sorry. It will be very hard at first, and at 5 months post diagnosis, it still breaks my heart. It is nothing short of traumatic as a parent. There is a lot to learn, and much to read, often through tears. Get the support…"

While he is signed up for a great sounding diabetes camp (Gales Creek), I was sad that the camp in northern WI that I love and worked at is not prepared…See More
