Ryans dads night time shot is Lantus, but Ryans is levemir...i always thought it was different because of the age difference but it musnt be.. Ryan has 1.0 unit of levemir on a night and so far he wakes up 4's most of the time. We have had the odd morning hes been 3.9 or 3.8. Iv noticed straight away before testing him because its even harder than normal to get him out of bed n once hes up hes soo tired you would think he was drunk.
Ohhhh so do you manage to control those treats ok?? She doesnt sky rocket?? I really cant wait to go to this carb counting appointment. Im hoping everything becomes much easier. Do you manage to carb count ok, even though she is on such a low dose..?
Ahhh the pump...its swearing in our house..Ryans dad is 100% against them. I dont like the idea in a way...but in a way i do. Id like to control his diabetes the best possible way and i believe the pump is the best way to do this. His dad, however, point blank refuses...and it has to be a joint decision. So for now...and maybe forever...the pump isnt for us either...
Awww Ryan loves banana and custard but he hasnt had it in what feels like forever now. Im looking forward to the day he can have small treats again and i dont watch him drink the sea dry after.
So we had another go at pasta today and managed to guess right. Ryans insulin requirement has dropped still and he is only going between 0.5 units and 1.0 units.
We also give Ryans insulin after he eats. But sometimes he takes soo long to eat his food it worrys me he will already be high before his injection. If i cud guarntee he was going to eat everything on his plate i could give it before but its soo unpredictable...
We are going to a family fun day tomorrow and in with the price of the ticket the kids get pizza and chips..im thinking about it and dreading it already. He hasnt had pizza since he was diagnosed..but i know what it does to his dads blood sugar so im worryin in advance. And i dont want to take his food with me so he feels different from the other children. Maybe if he runs around a lot it will help?..
