my daughter age 12 went to the doc last fri the 3rd of march after my wife had been noticing some signs that worried her , drinking alot lost weight peeing alot . my wife is a rn nurse , so after my daughters exam about a hour later she got a call telling her her numbers 770 blood sugar a1cs in the 16+ and her blood acids 7.01 .. she was rushed into the er and spent 5 hours there then 2.5 days in the icu and another 2 in the ped floor . she also has hypo thriod diagnosed at the same time.. need less to say the last week plus has been a roll a coaster of emotions . alex my daughter has done great to be honest . shes doin her own shots since the 3rd day has retained alot of info about all this .shes better then me to say about all this lol .i have so many questions so many fears . we cleaned are house to start a better diet for her , and all of us , and are trying to find a new norm with all this . her diet is 75 carbs per meal goal. and she wants to stay with her pen injections for now . iv tried to talk to her about a cgm like the dexcom but shes not interested at all . i think because it would be a constant reminder for her . she experienced her first low yesterday witch she handled very well . i screwed up and feed her a to high of fat content meal and used sliding scale for her amount and im guessing the slow release of carbs because of the meal caused a low dip 2 hours after the meal then she spiked high 3 hours later .... this has been a huge learning curve for us all . me the most . her levels are still trending on the high side . and since we are just getting back to life after the hospital i have no idea how her body is gona respond to her day to day life .. she went to school on fri and her numbers were the best that day they have been so that was positive... my wife has a close friend who is type one who is offering advice and im great full . but im so scared as a father im gona screw this up ..and any advice im greatfull for and i appoligise for not using correct terms im new to all this . thanks jake
