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...

spring fever....

Hey all.. Will is doing great! His A1c is at a record low of 7.3 : We got a fantastic diabetes report from the ped. Endo..Makes us feel like all the lost sleep is worth it for his long term health. His BG has been stable for the most part with mainly under 300's for highs.. and a lot less super lows. He is still working on his dad on getting a dog, but we both know that we'd be the ones picking up the dog doo so he will have to keep working.... He went for his first motorcycle ride with daddy this past month. LOVED it! He is tired of being 4, he keeps telling us he wants to be 3 again, or 5. We think its because of daycare. He moved up the 4's room this past january and he's not liking it as much as the 3's room. :( The Dr's office actually got to take his blood pressure this time around. to bad it didn't read right the first time because there was no way they doing it again... getting there. William is starting to write his own name and is showing interest in learning to read. "what do these letters say?" We are ridding the bike around the block a lot, and he's already burned through his back tire... time for a bigger bike anyways....
