I think that the hardest part of it all is the thought that they have to go through all those things you experienced when they grow up. It really is hard to keep up with this condition but you have to keep focused. My son was diagnosed when he was 7, though it was already automatic as we have seen a lot of symptoms as he was growing up.

Try reading books to cope up and grab the attention from something that could just worsen.

My son was just diagnosed with type 1. We spent Christmas at the hospital and returned home just in time for his 1st birthday last week. His numbers are all over the place. Have your child's evened out yet? How long did it take? Being diagnosed as an infant is not very common, so any advise you have is much appreciated!

I am sorry to hear of your son's diagnosis. Education is one of the key ingredients for dealing with diabetes, read everything that you can on your son's condition. While I don't know much about infants with diabetes, several others on the Forum do. Use their experience, send them an email or a private message if you need to. I wish you and your family the best.

Welcome (unfortunately I guess) to the T1 (Type 1) world. We are a close knit family in my opinion. Always here for each other through this tough, emotional, frustrating, patient trying (I could go on & on) disease. Our daughter was diagnosed almost a year ago (feb 22) when she was 8 (now 9). It's been a complete turn around for us in our lifestyle. The BG levels are NEVER predictable nor explanatory as to why they are high or low in all cases. Hope you have a very explanatory & compassionate Dr. We have been Blessed with ours. Hope you find answers when you have them. God bless!
