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...

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) :)
