Well its been awhile since Ive blogged. My mind goes a
million miles an hour and I have so much to get out, but when pen hits paper,
the mind goes blank. Cant seem to get the words out at times!
Its that time of year again. School is out, heat is
rising and video games are in full swing. Time to adjust insulin dosage again
since sitting around playing video games happens more than it should. Just when
you get the insulin dosage just right and everything is going as smoothly as
possible with this beast, a monkey wrench like summertime comes around. I've
been noticing lately that my son’s 1/20 ratio and 80/150 correction does just
hasn’t been cutting it. I thought maybe
he was getting sick but then it dawned on me…OHHHH he’s sitting on his butt for
hours at a time with the only thing moving is his thumbs on the dang video game
controller! Time to adjust yet again. We seem to have had a pretty good 3
months as his A1C’s was 6.9 just last week. I cringe every time we have to go
get that damn A1C checked. You know what it like? Its like you back in
high school taking your final exam that will determine if you graduate and you don’t
think you studied good enough. In to the Dr’s office we go, finger poke, I
cringe just knowing we are going to hit a 10 A1C. Sweating bullets! Dr comes in
and says “your doing great, a 6.9 A1C. WHEW….we did it. But how? How did we get
such a good number when I thought we had a bad 3 months? Shoot, never mind how…just
take it! You feel like standing up on a table somewhere and announce how
wonderful your kids numbers are! You are a Rock star and you want everyone to
know it! You know, its like when your kid eats Pizza or Pasta and you cover it
perfectly! Funny how the little things just thrill us!
