Last night we checked K about 10:30 (earlier than usual) and her BG was 111 mg/dl. That's a great # but because it was so early, I still needed to check her during the night. My alarm got me up at 3AM (new strategy is to keep phone on the floor because I have to get out of bed and crouch down to get it - thereby waking me up enough to realize that I have a task to complete - not just plop back into bed); somehow, her BG was a whopping 265 mg/dl!
This morning, hubby asked me at wake up what her 3AM BG was and I guess I mumbled her number and he said, based on recent trends, "I knew it! I thought she'd go low." I more clearly articulated her high 3AM number and he was then as perplexed as me. But that's the thing -- it could have gone either way.
Her BG was down to 197 at 6:25 - but still too high to be able to eat right away.
Our Walk to Cure Diabetes is one month away from today. Will you consider joining us or donating to our cause?
On July 27, 2010, we found out that our 3.5 year old daughter has Type 1 Diabetes. When we started meeting other parents of children with diabetes, they all said that it gets easier... It does; it becomes the new normal. But it has yet to be "easy" but no one said it would be "easy", just "easier".
