Please take a look at the free leaflets from the DRWF and show them to your son's doctor at the next appointment. Go to: drwf.org.uk/understanding-d...

Does the doctor have your son on a sliding scale for insulin doses? Are you counting the carbs. for your son's meals and/or snacks? How many times a day does he do insulin shots? What does he have for breakfast, lunch and dinner? What are his blood sugars during the day and evening? Did the doctor suggest to look into getting a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) system?

I'm a type 1 Diabetic and use a CGM. I also count carbs. and take insulin a few times a day. I also eat low carb. high protein along with a gluten free diet to control my blood sugars during the day and evenings when I sleep.

Sir / Madam,

Would it be possible to give more information? Age, blood test results numbers. Any medication, type of insulin and dosage. Many people have controlled diabetes, type 1 and type 2. UK prime minister May is type 1, has a patch to do continuous monitoring to take medication. Many sports people have also achieved gold medals.

What is important is controlling food and drinks intake.
