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...

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!
