Why can't every day look like this?


This is from today. It was so beautiful (even though I'm worried about him running so low from the stomach bug) I just had to photograph it. I have to confess...I've always been a bit jealous of the Dexcom graphs I see across the DOC. Mostly the ones of adult T1's, because theirs are always so...so...STEADY. Granted, a child's T1 is a different animal, what with hormones, and growing and carb & fruit snack-obsessed 4 year olds.

His appetite is coming back slowly...but he's nowhere near where he was before. I've hardly had to bolus him the last few days and in a way...it was kind of nice. 

So, until the roller-coaster wave of Adam's blood sugar returns, I'm going to sit back and enjoy the view of this steady one for the next few days.

  1. I think you should buy a pretty frame and put this photo in it. Set it up on your nightstand as a reminder of why you will get up and do it all over again another day. Adam is one lucky littlel boy to have you as his mama!!!

  2. Love those days! We don't have a CGM at the moment...always a thought in the back of my mind, though. But, I keep a log on my phone and it highlights the BGs that are out of range...love it when all (or at least most!) of the numbers are in white!! Give you a sense of accomplishment that helps to keep you going through those roller coaster days!
