Type 1 Diabetic Diagnosed Novermber 2010

William was diagnosed in November 2010 with Type 1 diabetes. The official diagnosis and first parent supply training day was the day before Thanksgiving. We spend all of Wednesday at Helen Devos Childrens Hospital learning how to count carbs, give shots, and check blood sugar levels. Whew....then we were sent on our way with a bunch of stuff and they said good luck, we'll see you in three months, and if you have any questions call us :)

WHAT???? OMG...... Here we go...

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.....
