So I had Jilly jump on the mini trampoline while counting to 800 (her choice on the number). We then retested her and her blood was at 250! Much better. The mini trampoline has always been useful for getting her to exercise a bit more, but now with T1D I think it'll be a great tool for the winter. We have her bed up on blocks and store it under the bed when not in use.
So another new rule in the house is:

I stumbled across your blog this morning and just wanted to say hello. I have a 2.5 yr old son who was diagnosed at 15 months and we are also in Seattle.
