Zoe was dx'd just over 5 weeks ago and is definitely honeymooning. I have increased her Levemir dosage to 10 units, and she hardly ever needs Novolog. The only time that I find it necessary is at breakfast and sometimes at the 3am check. However, I am still finding her numbers running very high until the Levemir kicks in (I give it to her at breakfast). I've been giving her just a unit or ...

To date, I have generally had a positive experience with my Target pharmacy. It used to be great and then about 9 months, the young pharmacist that I love (and that had a neice with T1) left. I have had a couple of minor issues with them since but today I was really frustrated I dropped off 3 scripts on Tuesday - syringes, Humalog, and Lantus. I went to pick them up today (Friday)...

What do you all set in the pump? I think we have three hours set in there. I wonder if it is longer. I know there is data posted on each insulin, but I was wondering about the exp. of others.

Just wanted to let you all know Mandy's teacher called last night and she is just SO wonderful. She has all along wanted to do whatever she can for Mandy. Despite everything that's going on, I feel we are lucky it is this teacher that happens to be her teacher this year! Having been a teacher myself, I can't imagine how it must feel to walk such a fine line...between employer and family...

My dd's teacher and nurse called today to tell me that when they checked Willow at morning snack she was 39. They took it very seriously and got her up to 89 by lunch time (over an hour). My issue is that she and they report that she had NO symptoms. Willow even says yeah mom I was skipping and jumping rope just before Ms. Vandal took my blood sugar. Is it possible for her to be this low ...

Let me start this from the begining. Kaley had a wonderful 3 month checkup with an A1c of 5.8. Her dr praised her for her good work. After that the slip ups started happening. Lying bout testing her bsor the #. Then on to not covering her food properly. NOW she got caught sneaking a snack. DH wants to punish her but we are not sure that is the right thing to do or even what to punish her ...

Just curious! By what age are adults with T1 generally dxd? Is it by age 30 or is that stuck in my brain for no good reason? How old was the oldest person dxd with T1? Thanks!

My son will have had diabetes for a year come October. We haven't had to use the glucagon, and hope to never use it. But of course, I worry about one of those times when he just gets too low. I guess I just wanted to ask if anyone has had an experience, like if their child seizured, or passed out, and how low did they get, for that to happen? And how was the outcome? I'm ...

Back to school and the start of soccer has again lured us out of hibernation. Oh yes, lets not forget about the on going birthday party's. Birthday party's are controllable but there are SO many. School, which, should be controlled is not either. Take today, 88 degrees so the class had pops after recess. The teacher called the nurse, she is still new and does not have all the D mastered ...

Hey everyone - Mady has been having those stomach aches I have told yah about - Last night she was doubled over sick - All sweaty etc. Then ended up on the toilet - She had diahrera (sp?) and a couple hours later woke up on the couch crying, saying she needed water (she knew she was getting sick) and then started throwing up everywhere - massive amounts. SO I assume she is getting a stomach ...

Mike starts high school this week, we went to meet the nurse and bring his supplies. She told us he was one of 4 diabetic students this year out of 1200 kids!! (It's a very big district). I thought to myself...that doesn't seem like too many given the huge numbers of Type 1 kids in the world. Just curious-how many in your school? ...
