Diabetes Information

Jan,
Thanks for the doctor directory, but you can quit worrying, we saw the
pediatric endo this morning (the one that couldn’t see us until the end of
November fit us in)
It was a great visit, lots more support than we got at diagnosis. We were
there for 3 hours, saw a nutritionist, diabetes educator, the doctor, and
even a social worker! This doc is a type 1 himself, wears a pump, and is so
on top of things. I felt like a big burden was lifted off my shoulders.
They did a HbA1c and it was 5.4! He said that Brad’s bg’s are running too
low so he lowered his insulin doses to 3 units at breakfast and 1 unit at
dinner. I thought his bg’s were running okay, and have panicked when they get
above 150. The nutritionist said for an active 9 year old kid they like to
keep them in the 100-200 range. Doesn’t this seem awfully high???? He doesn’t
know why Brad is on so low dose of insulin, but wondered if he is really
diabetic. I told him that the antibody tests were done in Arkansas and he is

It’s Autumn and there are sure lots of *falls!* Iris, I hope you get medical
attention now before infection sets in. You’ll probably also have to go on Sick
Day management for awhile for rising BGs over this. GLAD you had on a helmet -
as weird as they may seem.
Take care,
ex-rider Jan

My back is coming along though still aches and travel with alternating ice
packs and take Excedrin 4x a day. Hubby got his forehead stitches out Monday.
Son PEED on his own today!!! PTL They thought he might have to self cath. He’s
getting special arch supports because the tendon in one foot was stretched quite
a bit. They measured and he fell 12′10″. I saw the building and I think they
lessened it because stories aren’t 6′5″. I think they subtracted his height from
the gutter (with stretched arms??) to not include that part of the
arm-scraping-needed-stitches fall. That would mean about 20′-21′. He’ll probably
be moved to 4th floor Rehab in a week for about 3-4 weeks. He sat up 2x today
for 3 hours. PTL.

My daughter of 16 years recently started taking a weightlifting class at school.
Lately her shots in her arms have been hurting where they didn’t used to be.
She’s wondering if it’s related to her new well toned biceps…P.S. tummy
too…
Anyone with expeience or knowledge with this?
just my little life talking here…
Enjoy your day…
love,
Laura °Ü°

My, isn’t it boring without the Master Jokester/Sweet Person (my dad)??
He should be back at work tomorrow a.m. and I’ll be mostly away. 8^ (
Tired Jan

Iris, the young lady who is flamming you for your situation does not need to
judge. It is not her place to judge your situation. Just move on and ignore
her. You do not need the stress of someone who does not even know you. You
are such a asset to this list and we love you so when the right thing comes
along for you you will know it and things will fall in place. Only the good
Lord knows what is in your path so just chill and look at the sky and smile.
;O) Hugs Shelia
