Writing, our family, and type 1 diabetes. A Place to Talk. UK – US Blood Sugars. A Place to Talk. This page is in response to a number of folks who congregated on the ‘About’ page: so here is a more official place to talk. About diabetes, about being a parent, about being a parent of a teen, about being a parent of a teen with type 1 diabetes. Or about just being. No threads. No focus. No joining. Let’s see what happens. A place to talk. This space, I hope, is a start. Click of the Light. Http 1 month ago.

Writing, our family, and type 1 diabetes. A Place to Talk. UK – US Blood Sugars. This page is adapted and borrowed with gratitude from a parent’s circular on www.childrenwithdiabetes.org.uk. And is an introduction to understanding the mechanics and treatments of type 1 diabetes, particularly in children. What is Type 1 Diabetes? What is insulin and what happens when you don’t have any? Is there a cure? What are the aims of the treatment? To achieve normal blood glucose (BG) levels (4-7 mmol/l). 140mmol/l...

click of the light: October 2011
http://clickofthelight.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Click of the light. Life with type 1 diabetes. What does that mean? Thursday, 13 October 2011. On September 23rd, I skydived for JDRF. It was AWESOME. My instructor was a really nice guy who put me at ease straight away. I was the only one doing a tandem jump in the flight I went in - all the others were qualified skydivers doing their own thing, including one girl in a pair of hot pants and knee high socks! It took a few minutes for the plane to get to the right height - 13500ft! He then jumped out the ...

click of the light: Dexcom G4 trial
http://clickofthelight.blogspot.com/2012/01/dexcom-g4-trial.html
Click of the light. Life with type 1 diabetes. What does that mean? Wednesday, 11 January 2012. I'm a glutton for diabetes related gadgets and new bits of kit, but more than that - I am always desperate to seek out new technologies that will help the management of my type 1. I have the Animas Vibe pump, which is only avaiable on the European market at the moment. It has Dexcom integrated into in, and uses the latest sensors - G4. I went to the hospital on Monday to meet her and my DSN. My rep insiste...

click of the light: How is referring someone so difficult?!
http://clickofthelight.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-is-referring-someone-so-difficult.html
Click of the light. Life with type 1 diabetes. What does that mean? Thursday, 22 September 2011. How is referring someone so difficult? Last month I went to see a GP at my GP surgery. He happily agreed to refer me to a local hospital for my diabetes care. I then received a letter through the post a few days later to say I had been referred to the Choose and Book system and I should book my appointment online. It's not like I want to see a consultant for fun! Which hospital are you with? I'm Siobhan, 25, ...

Click of the light. Life with type 1 diabetes. What does that mean? Thursday, 28 July 2011. Memory like a SIEVE. And I'm still struggling. It's really bothering me - it means I am nowhere near as efficient as I could be! I want to be productive and on top of things, yet I am finding it pretty hard. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this easier, please tell me - no matter how big or small! Is there anything I can be doing to help myself? Should I invest in anything? Thursday, 21 July 2011.

Click of the light. Life with type 1 diabetes. What does that mean? Monday, 28 March 2011. Sun sun sun and thankgod for the DOC. One of the positives of having type 1 has been discovering the type 1 community, both online and offline. Offline, I have made some amazing friends. Friends who have leapt into my life and spun it around, making me very happy! I've become really close with a few of them in particular, and one of the girls and I decided that we should go on holiday this year. Online, the DOC is ...

http://clickofthelight.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Click of the light. Life with type 1 diabetes. What does that mean? Friday, 3 June 2011. May was a busy month at work, but most importantly, I went on holiday! I spent 9 days in Split, a coastal town in Croatia. It was beautiful and hot and somewhere I'd definitely recommend - but maybe not for people with children as there didn't seem to be a great deal for children to do. I went with a good friend of mine who is also type 1, Naomi - which made the holiday so much easier! Testing on the beach. We did so...
