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...

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.
