Fossy Jnr in hospital

All the best. Hope all goes well for the whole family and especially Junior. If he can beat Cowlishaw, he can beat diabetes. :-)

Glad you have a diagnosis now, fossy and please remember that, with all the stress this has caused you, there might 'need' to be an N + 1 with your name on it ...

Hope fossy jnr - and Mrs fossy get on top of things really quickly.

Sorry to hear this Fossy, period of adjustment all round then and lots of slack cutting.

Hope he GWS @fossyant
10 yr old lad is currently in with double pneumonia since yesterday - I am covering nights.

Get well soon to your little fella too.

Check whether the hospital is delivering the Paediatric* Diabetes Best Practice Tariff 'Year of Care' programme and make sure he's enrolled on it if they are. You should get referred to a Paediatric Diabetes Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) anyway.

Make friends with your Diabetes CNS. If they're any good (and the overwhelming majority are) they'll be an absolute Godsend in the first six to twelve months.

There's lots of apps out there to help. The CSN should be able to advise. The Diabetes UK web-site is also a very good source of info.

You will need to keep an eye on him though. Although teenagers are generally OK with handling their condition, the fact that they're going through puberty can cause some problems.




*Although he's a teen he's still classed as paediatric for these purposes.

Second this about the Diabetes Uk website. My nephew and his mum and dad have had lots of support through them.

Hope your lad it OK Tony.

Confirmed type 1 diabetes.

Guess we've got some learning to do. Must be an app for food counting which he will be ok with.

Might get him a Triban 3 to cheer him up

Sorry to hear the news. On the plus side though, you've got a prompt diagnosis and it's something that there is lots of support and advice available for.

Best wishes.

Pneumonia is horrible - Had it when I was about 14 and to date it's the most ill I've ever felt. I hope he gets well soon.

Sad news indeed
modern medicine and knowledge has come a long way since 1970s when my wife was diagnosed - and we found with a sensible 'routine' it was well controlled

best wishes to all your family and young Fossy

PS dont get the '3' yet till a stable food/insulin/exercise regime has been established.....

 

[400bhp]

Oh balls

Look on the positive, he might be able to snaffle a power meter out of a Diabetes charity - awaits @gam001
