Life can be rough...
We've been battling a swing of blood sugars the last few days. The numbers will be normal. Then suddenly spike up to alarming levels requiring me to wake up every 3 hours for corrections. Then it'll go back to normal. Tonight has been high and I'm praying it'll drop down because I'm feeling so burned out. I know it's always going to be like this - but I can't help but wish that it would give us like a week's vacation. After 3 months don't we deserve at least that? Or at least some regularity? Unless chaos is the new regular.
On a different note I've discovered blogging is a useful threat. Jilly was being a wee bit naughty today. Doing something and not stopping when told to. I finally threatened her that if she didn't stop I was going to blog about what she was doing. That stopped her shenanigans fast!
T1D JillyBean Story
JillyBean was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on Sept 6, 2009. Type 1 and Type 2 are two very different monsters. Type 1 is genetic, it is not caused by diet or exercise. Jilly has to take injections of insulin before each meal, before bed and sometimes in the middle of the night. There is currently no cure and if not controlled correctly T1D can lead to very serious and deadly complications.
I am not a doctor and am in no way qualified to give medical advice. I am only a mom who is blogging in order to share with others what it is like to live with T1D, to connect with other children and parents who are also living through this, and to share experiences and tips.
