Save, the first thing is welcome and get comfortable, that we are going to throw a little hand.
There is a thread of "parents", in the section "I am looking for someone from ...", where you can raise all your doubts, that they will not be few, and you will see how within very little it is you who is helping the new ones.
My daughter debuted at the same age as your son, at 8 years.Now he is 16, so we have some experience in all this.
The fear of something sleeping can solve it by doing a control at dawn.We continue to do my daughter, because she has a tendency to give us the occasional scare and so we are safer.
As for glucagon, yes, we have ever had to put it.You should not be afraid to use it, but remember that, while you are aware, it is better to give sugar.If you are unconscious, do not have any repair to put it on.I once told my daughter's endo that the glucagon could click anywhere in the body, except in the eye: D if you have to do it, try to inject it very slowly, because if it is injected very quickly it tends to cause nausea,But there is no major problem.
A advice: try to remove any drama.The child must be a normal child.Nothing "poor", or "he can't."You must treat your diabetes with the same naturalness with which you would try to wear glasses, or the one you have to wear an spray for allergy.It is convenient that your environment (family, friends, teachers know it to help in case of emergency.
You will tell us and ask what you want.
Health and a kiss to the little one.
