So K has been home sick three of the four days so far this week. Ugg. She's not that sick and that's not why I write. It was just an explanation of why she was home for her mid-morning check. She was quite high midmorning: 256 mg/dl or something. About an hour or so later, she said her tummy hurt and I checked her and she was 54 mg/dl. Another "ugg". No idea why. She had 10 grams of carbs to bring up her BG. Checked her about half hour later and meter read "200 mg/dl". Thinking it had to be a mistake, I rechecked and it read "232 mg/dl" . So many "what the...??" How was the meter so off?! But whether it was 200 or 232, how could 10 grams take her up so high?! She'd had NO carbs since an early breakfast! Luckily, the rest of the day wasn't AS wonky... Wonder what tomorow will bring?
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".
