I agree with everyone else, Natasha. I would try one and if your son's #' are high (he is adorable, btw,) remove it, extract what insulin you can and start with one you already have. It can't hurt, just watch his #'s for the first few hours. How d...

Hi

Sorry...I am not shy, I just have no clue how to post a photo. This is my dear departed greyhound from an old file. I was diagnosed with type 1, 3 years ago at 50. People wondered how I got "adult onset diabetes" while living such a healthy lifestyle. Hmmm......shows you how uninformed the lucky, general public is. I jumped in and read everything I could get my hands on and started out committed to besting this with tight control. After some scary lows and raging hormonal highs, I have lost my e… Continue

Elaine, good to hear from you. Yes, someone with MD opened my eyes that day. It's true that if we stress too much it can make us counter more difficult stuff to deal with. I'm really trying my best to be stressfree. Writing helps me. Have a great day, and lots of love to you. Patti
