Type1 diabetes.

My 13 year old lad has just made this video from last season. He suffers with his size due to being type1 diabetic and having severe hypos through the night resulting in countless bottles of lucozade and biscuits during the night. He has trialled at 3 professional clubs who have all said the same thing, loads of potential but due to size unable to offer a contract. He plays grassroots for our local team and JPL (top division) for Oxfordshire. Has anyone else on here got a child with type1 diabetes? If so how do you try to keep on top of sugar levels when it comes to matchdays and training sessions?
