Ho everyone just wanted to post an update on my son

[Guest guest]

Most of you don't know or remember me .. I don't post much on here..

but my son was dx'd with type 1, last year 11/09/04.. (this is when I

joined the group) he was 14 at the time.. very scary then he wnet in

K/A at 770 BG... admitted to ICU fromt eh Er for 2 days and then to

Peds for training and control..

HE just turned 15 this past Monday, June 20!!! He has been in his

honeymoon for about 4-6 months now... He is currently on zero

insulin.... and he is currently running daily with his cross country

team for summer practice.........

I've been reading where kids that go into a oneymoon stage on zero

insulin can sometimes come out of it badly..K/A. so I have my eye on

his BG monitor daily...

anyways if any of you ahev teenagers and have experienced honeymoon

without insulin.. could you tell me for how long was your or your

child's honeymoon and do you think exercise/sports supports longevity

in the honeymoon period...?

I am hoping it does... and I have been trying to keep him healthy, he

did however have a fever for know apparent reason about 4 weeks ago...

so now I am watching his BG like crazy and they ave risen 10 points in

the last two weeks... I hope it is nothing..

Does anyone know the record for honeymoon period with type 1...?

ok well that is my post for now....

thanks in advance for all of you that respond...

Honeymoon definitely gives you the feeling that everything is wonderful

again.. when you know very well it isn't... I am just trying ot enjoy

every moment while they last..

luv sherri
