Basal rate take #3

It looks night night #3 is a fail. After the doctor made another adjustment his 3am check just came back at over bg330. Sigh... Just gave him a correction. Now I'm awake. Waiting one hour to retest and praying it goes down. Ketones are negative. Poor baby has been woken up to go pee. He already had a hard time going to sleep in stomach pains last night. I didn't fall asleep until after midnight. Now, I'm off my basal rate schedule and I'm on every 1 hour retest scheduled to make sure my poor little boy isn't haven't an issue with his infusion site or his insulin. For anyone who thinks Type 1 Mom's have a glamorous life and we have no reason to complain, well here's the real deal. I'm writing it for you as it happens in the middle of the night wide awake when the rest of the world sleeps. Us Type 1 Mom's are awake, testing blood sugars, ketones, watching over our babies, every night, and this is our normal. We do this just to get them to school everyday. And for myself I have a GATE and Honors student! I say Type 1 Mom's Rock! We are one of kind!
