It's been a long night... This is his week. We are no where near a normal pattern. He is on four different basal rates right now. His profiles are set and today they will change again. Last night was horrible. We hit a high at 3am of bg347 and I stayed up checking him every hour until his blood sugar dropped.
All my friends in the type 1 communities have told me it gets better and hang in there. For those who don't understand what the data looks like and just how much we check and the hours I'm checking, here's the chart for the week. This is the best part I think of our pump. It's ability to download the information into the computer weekly so the Children's hospital staff can see it as well and see how much insulin is used. They can see his spikes at night and hopefully figure out his patterns.
I don't know what happened last night. It was 3am, he was asleep, diabetes really makes no sense at all. He's a trooper. He's at school today. Kids are so much more resilient than adults.
Now this Mama is up chasing this toddler around. Life goes on. Let's pray for a better night tonight. And as Landon always says, "my brother has Diabetes" if it's no big deal to him, it's no big deal to Mommy.
