I think it is one of the biggest shocks to my life and his both. I feel so bad for him sometimes, hes way stronger then me that is for sure. He gets really upset sometimes because he feels like he is the only diabetic kid out there. I explain there is others but there isnt too many here. We live in a fairly small town. If anyone has a child around his age that could help them type an email to my son to let him know hes not alone would be great. Its a joy to know there is a place to go that knows how it feels to deal with all of the carb counting and emotions that come with this disease.

Sounds like you are doing well! That is fantastic! I hope you find us to be a good resource and sounding board. Stacy jlt0140 <jletourneux@... Good morning. I am new to the group but old to diabetes. Been type 1 for 42 years. I was 9 when I first learned to poke myself and weigh everything that went into my mouth. Have been on the pump (Minimed 712) for the past 5 1/2 years. Love it and you couldn't pry it off my body. A1c's went from 7+% to 5.1% 6 months ago. Not always that good though. Constant routine does it for me. John John,

How old is your daughter, and what's her name? I went thru middle school, high school and college with type 1, so wherever she is (excepting elementary school--I was diagnosed at age 12), I've also been there! It's rough, but us childhood-onsets who managed to adjust the best have turned out stronger than you could perhaps imagine. Now in my 40th year with diabetes, it's been an odyssey I can tell you about from start to... well, not finish--I ain't finished yet!--but from start 'till now, at least! You've found a good buncha ppl here--some more newly diagnosed and seeking support and answers, some, like me, old vets, survivors with a trick or 2 up our sleeves. Stay in the Light, Michael T1 since 1965 Rhonda

My name is Sarah, and my 13-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type I diabetes 4 weeks ago tomorrow. She is on humalog before meals and Lantus at night. She really seems to be 'honeymooning' right now...down to 2U with breakfast, 4U with lunch, 3U with dinner, and 9U Lantus at night. I was wondering what kind of carbohydrate intake any of you might share with me. Anne was started on 6 carbs with each meal, 1 afternoon snack and 1 evening snack. It really seemed to be too much for her in that almost her *entire* intake was carbohydrate. She's down to 5 carbs each meal and two 1C snacks each day. What are some of your diets like? Anne had lost ~7 pounds before diagnosis, and has gained about 10 after starting insulin (she is not overweight, but she's not thin, either, and the extra weight is disturbing to her). We meet tomorrow for our first follow-up at the <!--more--> diabetic clinic. I thought I'd put in my 2-cents worth about autoimmune disease, also. Anne has OCD, which is believed to be auto-immune mediated in some cases following strep(documented) or viral(theorized) infections. Anne's endocrinologist told us that if you have one auto-immune disease, you are more prone to another....great :~\ Looking forward to learning lots. I'm glad I found this group- Sarah (Ohio) Hello.
