Aiden had been in the 300's ...I am so with you. Aiden had been in the 300's for weeks and I was DYING!!! I love our Endo and he could tell that the gradual changes we usually do weren't cutting it for me and he rage-I:C-ratio'ed the heck out of it. For now, we are back on track (until we aren't - love that). But I have been thinking the same thing about hating when their insulin need increases. It just makes me so sad for some reason, then I feel bad that maybe it was me that was just too hesitant on giving him the insulin the he just needed to LIVE. For some reason, it just does make me a little sad (or something) to think about how not too long ago he was just getting 1 unit of lantus a day. Like if he only got a little insulin, he was only a little type 1. :( Then it passes and I give him an extended bolus of 4 units for some donuts and we move on. ;)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463424433433553534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-61724647686229767812012-07-29T07:51:19.936-07:002012-07-29T07:51:19.936-07:00I know!

Why do I have to convince myself that I need to adjust insulin instead of trying to be a sleuth and figure out if its bad insulin, bad site, miscalculation in carbs. I think its still scary to me to adjust the insulin, the smallest amount can make big changes. Way to go on rockin the rage-I:C ratio!!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818861980843167968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-25173960745561065682012-07-28T14:52:49.923-07:002012-07-28T14:52:49.923-07:00With ya, girl!

Her basals are up 0.05u across the board and it's looking like some I:Cs need to be adjusted a bit, too! Darn these growing kids!!! :)Denise aka Mom of Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726979027850619807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-72023228097206410892012-07-28T14:51:49.562-07:002012-07-28T14:51:49.562-07:00Wouldn't it be great if they had one I:C ratio...Wouldn't it be great if they had one I:C ratio for the entire day?!?

Natalie has had the same carb ratio of 1/15 for all meals for a LONG time, like over a year I think. It surprises/scares me when I see other kids her age who get less insulin than her. Not Adam, just other kids we have met I have noticed are older and/or bigger and get less than her! Same with lantus. I asked at her Dr. and of course they tell me not to worry about it or compare. Yah right! It scares me too when their needs increase and to know their life depends on it. Hope to see as good of #'s as Adam is very soon!NikDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339827779693006419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-51300999865776386552012-07-28T10:31:45.333-07:002012-07-28T10:31:45.333-07:00You are amazing!!
