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...

Winter Blahs.....

Mom really hates Celiac and Diabetes! William is a go with the flow kind of guy and taking it better than the rest of us... He doesn't even seem to mind having to take cold lunches to daycare (yet). He loves still being able to eat ice cream :) 

Wills BG numbers are getting better/ more stable but according to the endocrinologist a little to low. His most current A1c is only 6.8 which by the way is better than his grandmas :)  His target range is about 8 so they (doctors) want us to bring his average up a little bit.

Mom took Will sledding the other day at our favorite spot. He had a BLAST! He love being able to go down the big kid sledding hill and hit the "bumps". (mom not so much). His diabetes took over though and we had to leave after an hour and half because he was low (50's) and after several pieces of candy and it wouldn't come up, mom said enough....   Sledding is hard work ya know!

Happy Winter (or not) as we are getting enough snow this past month to make up for the whole winter....
