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...

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.
