David is an adult now

Yesterday, David went to the endocrinologist for the first time after being with a paediatrician since diagnosis at 13. He was comfortable with Dr De Corsey so he stayed their but now he is 18 he needs to move on and yesterday was that day.
the new Dr. (Forget his name) is a nice guy who seems to know his stuff. Said David is going fine with A1C of 6.3 and the other usual tests being fine.
The only thing is his medication. David mixes up Protopane and Actrapid twice a day which suits him… Continue

Two for two.. or is it two with one

Great to see a community site such as this for people with diabetes.
My son David was diagnosed in 2001 at age 13 and my daughter Linda just three weeks ago at age 21. It was Linda Wales who found this site and get me involved.

My wife Rhonda and I had things humming along with my son who keeps pretty good levels. He has just started an apprenticeship after finishing his HSC and he captains the local U18 soccer team but took a hit when Linda started showing symptoms and was diagnosed t… Continue

I don't know what aspergers is but anything on top of diabetes just complicates things more. The 14 yo son of a mate from cricket got a pump b4 christmas and they reckon it is the best thing that happened for them.
Keep in touch. I know Linda is keen to get more involved in the community, possibly even mentoring. My son, on the other hand, doesn't give a toss and wants to ignore it as much as he can.
So put on some good hard rock music and rock out!

Hi Rob,
I had a look at Linda's page and left her a message. My son isnt really interested in team sports. He has aspergers as well as the diabetes. He is coping very well all things considered. He does like to play outside and does a bit of running around in the afternoons so he usually gets some regular exercise. He just got a pump last week and its making a huge difference to his levels, he had very poor control before that, despite increasing his doses very regularly. I will keep in touch with either of you if you like to let you know how it goes. I live not too far away.I am at Lake Munmorah.

Rob,

Thanks for accepting my invite. Thanks for your supportive comment. All the best to your family, too. I hope that your son's experience will be a source of knowledge and support for his sister. He seems to be doing well and I hope he continues to do well.

Take Care.

I pray they have a cure prior to 40 years for your kids. I do feel fortunate. I have had difficulty with hypo unawareness. Woke to paramedics one morning and could see by the look on their faces they were shocked to see me respond. I asked what the number had been and they replyed 10mg/dl Survived that with no problems. I have gotten rides to work in a firetruck and also at the end of my bus ride. But that is no longer happening. Thankfully. Pray your kids will never have to deal with any of that type of difficulty. They must be there own advocates and learn all the can. It pays for itself a 100 times over.
