Diabetes Diary 3/5/15

It's an exciting day in our home! A couple days ago, I had a discussion with our endocrine office over our usual weekly adjustments of his insulin to carb ratios and the movement of his Lantus dosage back towards the afternoon. Daniel's numbers since his Lantus was moved to 7am made his overnight numbers extremely high and I was making corrections that the Endo didn't want to lead to a low that no one would know about. Another week of changes, of uncontrolled ups and downs with no real explanations, and every meal or snack had a different insulin to carb ratio. But, we made it! 

Good news... Our home delivery pharmacy called me to let me know our usual March delivery would be a few days late because our Pump is on its way! I immediately went into shock! Could it be true? I assumed even with three different insurance carriers it was going to take weeks to get the approvals for whomever would cover what the other wouldn't. I still do not know the different of the deductibles or even any of the supplies needed. I know nothing about how to use this new pump. But, we are excited! 

We are scheduled for class and a home visit with a Tandem T-Slim rep to help us through the process. I feel a huge sense of a renewed strength in approaching this disease. As tough as it is to watch what my child goes through, it's such a proud moment to see him reach a moment of a medical step towards feeling a little healthier. Now we are waiting on supplies to arrive and classes to start. We are as a family celebrating this big moment in Daniel's life!
