Diabetic and Coeliac

Thank you! My son was recently diagnosed with both. We've found very few people or info on both. I had no idea there was a group on here! :)

Me. The quick description.

Just a momma of two boys. One of which was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 10 (July 2009). Two months later, he was diagnosed with Celiac Disease.

best day in a lot of days today

I posted this on the site I normally post blogs. I moved it here too, because what Camden's gone through this last week was pretty serious. I'm sure he's not the first... Sorry for the length, I ramble when I start typing...

our first halloween with our two new friends... diabetes and celiac

I couldn't get out of bed yesterday. I don't remember being so depressed before. I just felt like I couldn't move. I hated my life. I finally got up around 3 in the afternoon. I realized what was killing me. On Friday we went to Disneyland and Camden's blood sugar somehow ended up too high to do much more than sit on a bench. We left and he felt guilt.

First Infusion Set :)
we went to a minimed class to learn more about pumps. Cam got a little bored and really wanted to try the infusion set and make sure it wouldn't hurt. He wouldn't even let the lady help, wanted to do it on his own. He's so excited to have it in an...

Emily, this is a very interesting idea you have. Wow, this hits close to home for me because of what my mom went through with me. You and Camden will find your groove. I did not test in the middle of the night for many years. For the past 2 years ...

Welcome to TuDiabetes, Emily. You might check out our group for Type 3s (loved ones of diabetics) or Parents of Type 1s. I've had Type 1 since childhood and will turn 30 in a week or so. :) I see that your loved one is newly diagnosed. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you - especially about our community.
