oh, diabetes, you're such an unpredictable scamp

Die - uh - bee - tuss, as Wilford Brimley used to pronounce it, is so insanely unpredictable. I know I haven't posted in ages. As I say, I'm already living the dream, so I really don't feel like writing about it most of the time! But there is rarely a day that does not involve a "what the - ?" It's usually the inexplicable highs or lows that cause us the most anguish. I can deal with a pump inset that comes out before breakfast on a rushed school morning. Or the monotonous nights of checking her near midnight and at 3AM. Although her BG reading may not be predictable at those times, the waking has become so. However, when she runs close to low through the night two nights ago - and then running too high last night for no obvious reason, or when last week she was running low after lunch and this week she's high (pretty much the same lunch, same activity level and same amount of insulin...) - that drives us crazy. We make adjustments after we see trends over days, but too frequently we just have complete randomness!
This is a time of year where we raise money for a cure. It is a very encouraging time for us as we get so much support from family and friends. Please consider donating to our JDRF Walk for a Cure team. We want a cure for all type 1s!!
