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...

back on the rollar coaster ride....

We are well into the year and no, I haven't been very good at posting to his blog. We as a family have been extremely busy.... With very little sleep to go around and a very long to do list, the blog is last on the list.....

We are having a hard time regulating his BG. We are having high highs, which makes him go super low.... our new all time low is 29.... Very bad news...

He seems extremely sensitive to carbs and insulin and the ratio changes every time we change insulin vials... Its hard to keep up.

We've giving the CGM system a break for a while because it can be so inaccurate, but then again we are having super lows. so I don't know what is worse....

Living with Diabetes really sucks, but we are thankful for the modern medicine.

Daddy hasn't been home much because of First Robotics, and momma is trying to keep up with the house and homework.... We are all looking forward to summer...
