Decided on Pump...

Decided to go with the MiniMed Revel pump because of the CGM sensors and my friend has one and will be able to watch will with ease if we ever want to get out....

We are hoping that the pump will help us help will gain control over his BG levels. We had another 42 this last week with insulin still on board...UGGG I wish this would get easier....

Better A1c

Just had 3 month check up. Went good. A1c down to 8.9 from 9.5 3 months ago. This is good, but still needs to come down a little more for his age. Adjusted some ratios for carbohydrates and will adjust if needed again in a week.

Got to Eat chicken nuggets from McD's today because apt ran long and I was very hungry!

Weather is nice, and after my much needed nap we will go out and enjoy it :)

Long night...

We had a long night last night. For some reason His BG kept tanking and had to keep getting finger pokes and more snacks (bummer) well into the night. The Coke at midnight finally did the job... The 2 am check was 187 then back down to 108 at 7am. Wheww what a rollar coaster ride...

Having pump reps come to the house so we can get demos on two of the favorite pumps. Hopefully then we can decide what our pump will be for the next four years to come....

mom is new at this

Hi My mom is new at this and will do her best :)
Since diagnosis we have ridden the diabetes rollar coaster and brought his AIC down from 11.2 to 9.2 last check up. He is due soon for another check up. He has been sick a lot over the past few months with ear infections, sinus infections, pink eye and plain old colds.....
We are managing diabetes with injections only at this point but we are looking into and trying to decide which insulin pump we should go with. We have it narrowed down to two, but both have very unique qualities that we wish the one we go with had both options... like waterproof and Continuous Glucose monitoring.....
