It looks like we've made some progress in the D arena. Logan seems to be more interested in making sure he's doing what he needs to. He is over the 'vacation' - he doesn't like to be micro-managed, I guess.
Blood sugar checks are at least 6 times a day for the past few days. He goes low after dinner/at bedtime. He wakes up high in the morning. I made some adjustments in his basal rate and although he still woke up in the 160s at least it wasn't in the 200s like it has been. We're still battling the lows at bedtime, though. One more adjustment and maybe we'll have it taken care of.
All in all, things are a little bit better. Stressful? Yes. Time consuming? Yes. Worth it? TOTALLY!

On Saturday, December 6, 2008, Logan (dob 10/26/1998) was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City. I need an outlet to express my feelings and maybe I can find someone else that needs a shoulder to cry on along the way.

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and hope you would start posting again.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost 40 and a Type 1, just found out 6 years ago.
I loved reading about the camp Logan went to, and heard about something like that on D-life awhile back.
I just started a blog a couple of days ago, called I Love Carbs, ironic I know, but just trying to make light of it all.
Take care and hope Logan lives a long, healthy life.
