| The doctors at our clinic have been supportive and told about another diabetic type-1 child who's on low-carb. The nurses have been more worried.
So far we have needed to stay near the recommended about 200g carbs a day, because "A" has needed extra to treat low's. He might have remission and we have been walking and cycling and he might have needed less insulin.
Now Levemir has been reduced (the morning dose was also a bit too high - for pubertic young ones). And so has NovoRapid.
If we take away the amount he needed for correction the daily amount of carbs would have been about 150 g - which is still not so low-carb yet.
He is not so into sour cream or yogurt, which could make this easier. Does anyone here put raw eggs in their oatmeal porridge ? I think that sounds awful, but might be worth a try ?
I have been in some kind of shock, though I knew much about diabetes before this. I didn't think of it so much as a disease but a deficiency.
I think I have stayed quite cool, but couldn't help crying this morning.
It feels so heartbreaking to see our son, who is no longer a "baby", but a child still, trying to understand what has happened to him and coping with it. He tries to be "on top of it" and take care himself of measuring and injections.
He was in the bed for sleep and said to his father, who went to check on him: "I hope Your wish is right and they find a cure for this in next ten years."  |
