30 -month -old girl with diabetes

Hello!I am Maria, Claudia's breast, a small diagnosis of diabetes on 3/28/16 with 30 months.

At the moment we are "of tests" trying to adjust the glycemia (Lantus and Novorapid), but it is very unstable, rather high xq also spent a week now with antibiotic.

I would thank you info about recipes and tricks with food (eat fatal since I was born) as well as bomb opinions and glucose reader.

By the way we are from Valladolid.

Kisses to all !!!

Hi @Mariah14 there are several parents in the forum that can solve any questions.

For my part I do not dare to advise on such young children, just give you encouragement and if your economic situation allows it, value continuous glucose measurement, ask your endocrine for "free freestyle" and "dexcom".

Keep in mind that being sick, a lot of insulin resistance is generated and we usually be very high click what we click, it is completely normal.

Encourage that little one will know a world without injections when it is older.

Welcome to the forum @Mariah14 As I tell you @Artorias there are many parents in the forum that can help you, I recommend that you read the theme of parents:

Parents of children with diabetes
When our little ones suffer diabetes, we also, however,your children.

With this objective, one of the most successful themes of the forum was launched, which already has hundreds of comments and ac...

Hi @Mariah14.It is true that when they are little we try to instill a healthy eating, but when the child eats badly and little and it is also diabetic everything is more difficult.My 3 -year -old daughter is like that.I would recommend you (and that is what I do), adapt with the rations to what you like the most ... if you like bread, pasta, rice, ... a little rice will do half the portionsThat needs, then a yogurt (it can even be of flavors that are 1.5r) some bread and the proteins you need ...
When you want to eat vegetables, you can make creams (pumpkin /zucchini) and put bread toast inside ...
I use the carbohydrates of carbohydrates of food a lot.This for example Link
As for freestyle to us it is very good to control if it is going down quickly and be attentive or stable ... but insulin is punctured according to blood values, because sometimes the difference makes you have to prick a unitMore or one less, and children are very sensitive to so small amounts ...
A hug

Welcome to the forum @Mariah14!

@Mariah14 As my colleagues say, there are fantastic breasts and potatoes here that from very small their children have been sweet.
With insulin bomb there are many young children who carry it and just like Artorias undoubtedly if you can economically, without a doubt, a dexcom for its alarms right now, if you take it to nursery and do not want to complicate your life with theNew G5 you can see data at the time, there are techniques for the G4 to do this, such as the XDrip together Dexcom G4.
It gives you an impressive tranquility.

@Mariah14, to start a hug.My daughter TMBN debut-maldita words of Opereta-Muye, I had not yet turned two years old.Now he has 15, he has been with insulin bomb since December and well, it is another concept, much better, later I will give my opinion.
To start t I recommend that you report a lot, but much, about diabetes and especially diabetes of pediatric age.Dive in this forum, in good links, in books, exchange opinions with other parents, to be able to talk about you with their doctors and understand their language perfectly.That you have the security of which your treatment is being guided as well as possible and you carry the control-within the uncontrollable of the play.
Infection and disease make everything difficult, as long as this good can be determined better its real need to insulin and adjust the treatment.The continuous meter Understood and if you can see head by him.You will learn quickly and your guide and your tranquility.
The meals at these ages is point and apart, I tmbn lived it and with inflexible insulins that did not ate when I played did not forgive.Now things are somewhat easier.The best advice that I can give you is that many glycemias and d do for a few days the same, and eat more or less the same, try to determine its ratios, more or less how much insulin needs by ration.If you get it, you can have flexibility and eat the amount that you want by putting the insulin that you need.My daughter lived another time and that was hard, I had to eat the insulin that was scheduled, to the setback as it should be.
Tricks then fundamentally have exact knowledge of food composition, sometimes putting insulin during food or even later etc.
And we arrive at the topic of the pump.Inform and ask ... for my hundred percent recommended for children and more when they are almost babies.There the theme d the meals t facilitate it completely with square bowling, or starting a normal bolus in two so that everything does not act etc.
We talk to what you need.Cheer up.T I understand perfectly.A hug>: d <

The first thing is that with that age it would be better than it was with a bomb, because it makes more control over the dose of insulin and you can put the most tight amounts.

My son is now two and a half years old, and the meals is apart, he thinks that when he is older you can adjust better, because he will understand that if you have to eat 2 rations you have to eat if or if, now it is impossible.

If it is a bad comedian, it will be a bad comedian, that you are not going to solve it with our recipes, what I recommend is that you click after you have eaten.

With the pump you can rectify without putting hydrates, and then putting the dose according to what you have eaten, you can also take out a % if one day is lower or vice versa.

When they are so small, many things influence, one day I get an egg to football, because nothing I put a temporary amount of 80% and looks at the possible low, because they do not always want to eat when they need it.

It is a mess when they are so small, my recommendation is that you request a bomb already, being so small they would not have to denote, then be patient, this is hard and complicated.

Thank you very much for your welcome and advice. The truth was that I was reading days and I saw that it was a serious and with a lot of participation, which I encourage to register.
The meals, as you tell me, if I try to adapt them according to what he likes (what a remedy) and if he does not always eat yogurt, for example.
The continuous glucose meter we are looking at it (although the puncture of the finger does not carry it badly) to do it more controls, but we have not yet decided on a concrete one. I like the dexcom for the alarms of hypos but it seems to me a passThe price ... and I also read that the alarms were recently failed!I like the freestyle, but the endocrine also told us that they will get a new one with application in the mobile and we are waiting, I also do not know how the patch will be in its minibrazo (it is very thin).
Another of the reasons we still do not decide is to value the pump and take your adapted meter (I have read that they put the Medtronic bomb) and thus do everything together.
Next Tuesday we have a new appointment ... Let's see how.
We continue in contact. Many hugs to everyone and thank you thank you and a thousand times thanks.

Another thing that Aranzazuleg commented, the insulin after eating I also did it one day, especially when it has been bad and had zero appetite.I put it according to the measurement before eating (from 100 glycemia, it has been scheduled 0.5 U.I. for every 50 more ...) and those days went down a little and at 2 hours it used to be fine (I did it tofrom a day that I insulin before eating and gave it a hiccIt ends or since you put it insulin?
Another thing, at night even if not the right rise in the medication of the 3 am.Do you know if growth hormones have somewhat?
Now if I say goodbye, I roll up.hahaha

The rise of the 3 of the Mñn if it is usually hormones, and more rises from 6, more or less.

With the pump you will take hours of hours adjusting more insulin, so it is better.

The sensor is recommended after 4 years, for me it is still soon.Before buying it, try to leave you a test, because the pump patch is changed place every 3 days leaving a small mark the sensor is changed every 15 or one month, according to the sensor's mark, in addition that the kids forThe least mine wearing something that is not in the ass is very tempting to start it.

And even with a sensor, you will not avoid the punctures of the finger, that take it into account.

And the measurement is from the puncture more or less, to see what effect the fast insulin has done, but I do not recommend it, it is better to prick nothing more before each meal (breakfast, food, snack and dinner) and to12 at night, and once at 3 of the Mñn.

Aranzazuleg is that that is also that the freestyle is tested since the age of 4, they do not give you guarantees for minors of that age ...
The measurements we do according to us before breakfast, food and dinner and 2 hours later and that of the 3am.
I will consult the pump, because I see it more effective.
Kisses

Welcome to the forum @Mariah14 !!!Here we are many parents, some of older children and others little ones.My son debuted with 10 years, it is clear that it is not at all the same, but the fluctuations of diseases, growth ... etc. We also have them.We are here to help us and what you need here I am.
A hug

Hello Emma, ​​thank you very much.And since I read that the freestyle has ... what is it going? Is it true that the patch area is irritated? Does the medication with the blood cell?

Hello!!!To my son who is of sensitive skin, has not gone more than some small irritation, which passes soon because we alternate the arms.The measurements usually coincide, that if when it is in hypoglycemia (eg) we always corroborate with capillary and when we are in hyper we do it too.And the truth is that it usually gives us quite similar values, they once do not match at all but when this happens we do not trust and make capillaries and we are checking until they coincide.This usually happens the first day that we change the sensor, then the values ​​are very similar.We are quite happy with him, and he gives the freedom of discretion at the time of measure, which being a teenager is very important for him ...:

Much courage Maria to carry this, you and you baby are in my prayers.

Welcome and a lot of encouragement !!!
My daughter debuted last June, but with 13 years, so everything is very different.As for meals, as they have told you, it adapts the rations to what you like.My daughter has always been misunderstanding, now she starts eating something else, she had never eaten a sandwich and now she takes it for lunch with her corresponding rations.My daughter has always been pasta, and we remain the same, and we complete the portions with milk, which has always loved her.You will have to see how it affects what it eats, since the same food does not affect them the same.
He also carries free, we go for his third sensor, and we are delighted.They are working quite well and above all I keep the peace of mind of being able to control it as many times as the need for continuous punctures, especially at night.Although for insulin, we always make capillary, and in suspicion of hiccups or hyper as Enma has told you, we always make hair.We have anticipated some hypo thanks to the free.My daughter's skin is quite delicate, she has always had enough problems, and for the moment the free has been great.But keep in mind that what my daughter works for your little one may not.

Thank you very much again for your advice and opinions.I also do not hit it well (I planned to put it tips to grab it better).since they gave us the option to try the sensor we also wanted to do it for controlling their trend at night (at 3's shooting) what do I do ???
This is sinvivir.besos
