That didn't last very long....

Will was playing "hockey" and pulled out his CGM sensor. It only lasted 2days. :( each sensor= $30.00
silly boy, doesn't he know those are expensive?
We weren't really impressed because of the huge margin of error. He went really low 56 and his CGM was reading 100??? what's with that? But we did like being woke up at night when he went really Hi.
We are going to try again soon.

Started CGMS

We started his CGMS yesterday. They have very LARGE needle but we used the numbing cream and it made it a little easier. It was kinda nice to be woken up at 4am for HI limits and alarms. Helps me sleep a little easier to know alarms will sound if he goes hi or low... The CGMS have a very wide margin for error (20-30%) so not reliable for dosing but handy at night and for graphing trends.

We enjoyed some Art prize yesterday too. First time that he was soooo very tired he fell asleep in my arms while eating lunch. Very cute!

Great A1C!

We had a great 3 mo check today!
A1C down from 8.2 to 7.7.... YEAH!
Starting the CGM's this Friday....

CRANKY!

Wills numbers were generally good, but we were having lots of severe lows. Upped his carb ratio and now he is running rather high. UGGG! can't seem to level out!

He has another 3mo check tomorrow. Can't wait to see his A1C #.....

sick again

First week of school for older siblings..... = sick this weekend.
Mom and dad were up most of the night because Will woke up at midnight at 508BG and throwing up. no ketones= atleast no hospital trip. Gave correction and lots of fluids with 100 degree temp = BG tank. lots of gummy bears and very little sleep, he is up at 7:30 am wanting to watch Mickey..... Ugg very tired, but atleast its a Saturday!

going crazy again....

We were doing pretty good number wise. But isn't that the way it goes? Get a routine figured out and a few days later it changes again. Kind of like Michigan weather...

Yesterday at Daycare his BG meter read a 26, so care-worker retested which resulted in 68. She followed routine, gave candy and snack, but failed to call or tell us when we picked him up. Mom freaked out and called when dad mentioned what he saw on his meter. She apologized for not calling and said he was acting fine.... so, just when you think things settle down, a 26 shows up on the BG meter! What!

He is fine, but scary situation.

We are tired from the first week of momma going back to school with the teenagers (yes, she's feeling old :) )

Next week big bro and sisters start back to school. Should be FUN :(

William is being very stubborn lately. He sure thinks he is 15 years old already. I'm not really looking forward to that age bracket and Diabetes management.
