Welcome, Ben's Mom and Ben. I see that you are going to be away from home for a couple of weeks, and I am curious if Ben is being treated for the diabetes by someone else while you are away?
Tell us what you can for the present, and if you have the opportunity, take some time (I know, it's your vacation but if you are anything like me, this is on your mind) go back to the Home page and read the Getting Started and the Education sections to the right of the page. This is excellent basic starting out information that will be invaluable to you and Ben as you go forward.
