Hi!
I have started a new blog!
www.myobservationsandthoughts.blogspot.com
Please visit!
I love to write and continue to work on my graduate degree, so I created this new site to be able to just write my thoughts and observations!
regarding my family and two kids with type 1 diabetes...we are progressing in time.
Our son started first grade and daughter started third grade. I am helping monitor them through their ccgms (continuous glucose monitors) and go to school when they need to be given insulin or for any other unforseen reason. Their a1c's are close to their target range. Our son has started checking himself and both are counting carbs. They both played soccer this fall and did well. Our adventure continues.
Thanks for checking in!
Just when we thought that we had life under control, our 3 year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Two years later, our son was diagnosed too. Juvenile diabetes. A chronic disease. Not caused by eating too much sugar but by their bodies no longer making its own insulin. They require lots of blood checks and insulin shots. If we do everything right, the day may still not go according to plan. Our overall theme, is that God is in control!
