Numbers looking better

As a diabetics mother the BG is the king of the house. Our lives are circling around them. Thankfully his numbers are finally starting to level out again and we've narrowed down the significant problem causing him to "tank." That of which I speak of is his sensitivity level or the sliding scale in which to do a "correction" dose. He's been on one unit for 100 points over his 150 target range. We are finding it more like one unit for every 150-180 points over.

And yes, I may have been cranky leaving the house last week going to work for a new job on three hours of split sleep but dad is finally helping out at night even though he has to work so I'm getting a little more sleep (so yes, even a little less cranky) :)

Blood Sugar Very Sentive Lately

It seems that Will's blood sugar is very sensitive lately. Yesterday for instance he did not eat many carbs for dinner. He was at 67 so we let him go without a correction dose. He went outside and played with the neighbor for about an hour or hour and a half then when he can in (about two hours after dinner ) he was at 311. I gave him a correction dose and checked him an hour later to see he was at 70. I gave him half of a banana and checked him before bed and he was at 300 again. It seems that small amounts of change are making big differences in his blood sugar.

Mama was up at two to check his blood sugar again. then had to get up at 6:00am to go to work. That make for a long and grumpy day.

teaching Daycare how to give Bolus through the pump :)

We are looking forward to the day when daycare will be able to finger test, count carbs and bolus independently. Started teaching his normal care provider today :) He loved being able to feel more normal and eat what everyone else was for snack time since we would normally have to send in a 5 carb snack in. Made our day:)

Love the pump!

We love the poke free mealtimes! Well for insulin anyways.... still have to do fingerpokes but still doing a lot less pokes.

Food time feel a lot more "normal" now. Want a snack, sure... :)
