My son brenden is 5 now he was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 3 1/2 and its pretty much under control but he has his highs and lows. I was wondering if any of u have any experiance with at night if any of ur kids have seziures because of their sugar going to low im starting to get worried cause he has the quite frequentley and they scare the crap out of me he cant walk or talk for hours sometimes like today. It is so sad to see my little guy like this it brakes my heart and i know its hard on him not being able to talk to me for hours and tell me what he need if any of you have any advise please write me back!!!!
thanks

I just dont know what to do with them his doctor told me it was normal for him being so young to have them but they just dont seam normal its like he is having a stroke its really weird.
no thankfully my son that has the diabetes hasnt had a seizure if your son's sugar is under control for the most part id say get him checked to see if he just doesnt have seizures and its not the sugar causing it my other son has epliepsy so if u need anyone to talk to im here for you good luck and i hope your son gets better with the seizures
it is not typical to have seizures on a regular basis. i think you need to determine whether they are related to blood sugar. if they aren't - he needs medical help. if they are - the insulin really needs to be adjusted. that shouldn't be allowed to happen over and over again; it's a sign that the insulin dose isn't right and he is having life threatening lows. don't let the doctor blow you off!
the pump is really good for helping avoid nighttime lows. the insulin can be adjusted so specifically that he gets just the right amount at all times to keep him in range. please let us know what you find out.....
