You are doing a great job Mom! My daughter is on lantus and drops a lot at night too. We give it to her twice a day...morning and dinner. We correct much less at bedtime and overnight than we do during the day. Seems all the activity sometimes catches up with her in the night too.NikDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339827779693006419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854908515120917420.post-32734372602013079142012-06-28T16:41:41.319+10:002012-06-28T16:41:41.319+10:00Ahhh Jules, I sometimes wish we lived in the carto...Ahhh Jules, I sometimes wish we lived in the cartoons where you could just "POW" somebody in the noggin' and move on. You did so well just zoning out, sometimes it is way too much to educate all the masses for one person ;) As for the hypos, we have some times where it seems like the insulin is more concentrated, and nothing at all keeps his BG above 50 - then bam, things go back to normal needs for insulin. I think this is one of the more difficult parts of diabetes. Glad that you guys are doing so well though, I think of you and your beautiful boy often and hope you know that you're never alone in any of it:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854908515120917420.post-2292764199020365992012-06-28T11:40:26.095+10:002012-06-28T11:40:26.095+10:00What were you feeding him?

I would explain if I felt like it, but I don't think most people would think you had anything to do with a child so young getting Type 1. Parents of children diagnosed when older are very familiar with this type of query, though. It used to infuriate me when my 8 year old was literally the thinnest child in the class by far since preschool and a very picky eater and a similar comment would be made by parents whose children were twice the size of mine. Educate or give a sarcastic crack, your preference. Our DD tucks the pump into the waistband of her pants so that it is invisible and goes about her day. She gets tired of educating and getting challenged so only her close friends know she has diabetes. You don't owe anybody an explanation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854908515120917420.post-19563772400262394142012-06-25T16:14:42.328+10:002012-06-25T16:14:42.328+10:00Hiya Jules,

And despite your rollercoaster, sounds like you are. Tough, not tears. Nice work. I am SO tired of those 'did you put her to bed with a bottle of Coke?' people. Yes. I did. See? Look - no teeth in their poor little heads. <br /> <br /><br />My little one is 4, so a little easier, but she's only 5 months in from diagnosis so I'm ready to throw a mega tantrum. I want to say it's on her behalf, but selfishly, right now, I am SICK of diabetes, and tired, and fed up with weighing food, and terrified that I feel like this after only 5 months. <br /><br />We started pumping last month, and she has mega lows too - unexpected and terrifying. <br />Anyway - thanks for the dots that brightened my day (and for giving me a place to dump - SORRY!) <br />May you have a sleep-filled night tonight! :)Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854908515120917420.post-84268297187034819662012-06-23T06:58:16.048+10:002012-06-23T06:58:16.048+10:00first off, LOVE the dots!
