Awesome Endo Appointment Today

But not really for the reasons you would think. The kids A1C’s came down but we are still no where near where we were when first came to New Zealand. Kelsey’s was 8.6 down from 8.9 and Marty’s was 8.2 down from 8.4. The numbers are easy to explain away and the endo is pretty [...]

Day 5 of CGM Booty

As you can imagine, Kelsey’s wearing the CGM has been a real eye opener. But not in the way you would think..or maybe it’s not in the way I expected it to be. The weekend is a time when Kelsey gets to go off and do her thing..whatever that “thing” may be. So Friday she [...]

Day 1 of CGM Booty

At 2:30 yesterday Kelsey was finally outfitted with the CGM. It was a little confusing at first, but once we got it into our hot little hands the unit itself is really easy to maneuver through. After we went through the lesson, it was time to put the sensor into Kelsey. We had assumed it [...]

Kelsey is going CGM….we hope.

Kelsey’s Blood Sugars have just been all over the place lately. What’s been scaring me is that she is waking up with really bad lows (40′s/2′s) around 4 am. She does have these every once in a great while and we can usually tweek her program and get her back on track. I have to [...]

Talking Blood Glucose

I was contacted this morning by Sam over at Talking Blood Glucose. She mentioned that she enjoyed reading my blog (which is always AWESOME to hear) and invited me to take a look at hers. I happily wrote her back and said that I would get to it this afternoon and introduce her later in [...]

The Last Week of Summer

Summer vacation is almost over. Hard to believe that it has been 6 weeks already. The kids don’t have a whole lot of special plans, but they do have things lined up. Kelsey’s closest friend is from the States. The family is having to move back home and this is her friends last week here before [...]

Are You Paying Attention??

The morning shuffle. That’s what I call when I am making breakfast, the kids are doing their diabetes thing and I am going through the notes for the day. In the middle of the morning shuffle today I looked up and saw Marty just staring back at me.   ”What’s wrong?”  ”Mom, I just took my night [...]

Summer Camp

FINALLY!!! Marty doesn’t do well with boredom. I don’t know how your 10 year old boy handles time off, but mine is done after about the second day. He is now enrolled in camp for the next three weeks where he will get to do all kinds of activities. When I dropped him off I [...]

To Resolution or To Not Resolution

Do you make New Years Resolutions? I use to make them, but soon realized that I didn’t like being disappointed in myself. I have more of a habit of NOT keeping those resolutions than keeping them. However, I do try to jot some things down I would like to accomplish for the year and to be [...]

Catching Up

Been a little behind in my posting lately. My schedule is all wonky and I have been a bit out of sorts. I have been working, running around with the kids and trying to get our new online store started. I was asked to do a little work in creating a new program at Media [...]
