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...

Long night for mama

First night on the pump went well for Will because he slept all night. Mom on the other hand had to get up and do a mid-night BG check. He was over 400 so I had to give him plenty of insulin to bring him back down. Rechecked two hours later and yep, coming down. Finally able to go back to restful sleep (for hour and half). Yep that means 5 hours of split sleep for mom over night and have to keep up with the very energetic Will the next day. I hear a nap calling my name!
