My 10 year old son, who has used a pump, for a little over a year developed a rash on his arms as the start of warm weather arrived which he also had last Spring. Is there any correlation between his Humalog, diabetes, and sun sensitivity?
I would like to know why health professionals feel they need to manage diabetes, and seem to be against empowering their patients to manage it. After all, there is only one person who deals with it 24 a day, seven days a week, and that is the patient. Unfortunately, when it is dealt with in the wrong way, only the patient suffers, not the health professional. Why do we not empower the patient?
My son has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and I am assuming he is currently in his honeymoon because each few days that go by, he requires less insulin.

My 10 year old son has had type 1 diabetes for five years, he takes his own blood sugars, and he gives himself injections. At what age is it appropriate to leave him alone for a few hours?
How can I become a diabetes nurse? What kind of courses do I need to take? Just some helpful information that can help me get started on my way.
