Learning to be a pancreas- Part 2.

Im quickly learning that Im a tired pancreas.

A pancreas doesnt sleep.  

 When we go to sleep ours (folks without diabetes) are busy doing whatever it is a pancreas is meant to do.

Because Reubens pancreas doesnt do what its supposed to - Im it.   So the boy is asleep, the pancreas is UP.

So Im up all the time, testing, checking, bringing his BGL back up.   When I see a 7.0 - I think to myself, thats a great number.... For freaking DAYTIME.   At  night while hes sleeping, in a matter of two hours this could drop down to hypo-town.

Out comes the glucose syrup.

Danger Dads been getting choked up at 5am about the boy not even being able to get a restful sleep without us poking and prodding and feeding and waking him.  

What a f**cked up normal :(   

{Sorry Mum for the expletive incase you are reading! }

I made a quick video today starring the boy himself of a routine Blood glucose test - just a bit of education and diabetes awareness out there.    Often I get the line "Wow, but hes so young!" 

 If you think the video sucks - sugar coat the truth for me, Im a bit fragile right now!    Link to come.....
