Wow thats great! I am an art teacher! Love the kiddos too! Well I have to say that getting on these sites have helped me so much more than Drs. So what I am getting from alot of people is "regulation" is something that may never happen, which is actually very comforting because I was so fixed on geting that target number! We are in Texas. A small town outside of Houston called Highlands! Thanks so much for all you comments! Any info from some one who really knows is soooooo much appreciated! Lena
Don't be so hard on yourself. Your body changes and what works today or this week may not work next week. My sugar is a roller coaster even with the pump. Sometimes is a matter of trial and error. I can have lows for one week and next week is all highs. I can't understand it and it's frustrating. If you are in Tx I really like my doctor I can find out about a good doctor for children. I have 2 nephews 20 and 23 that became diabetics at 6 and 4. The 23 yrs old is also autistic so you can imagine all the complications he's had. My brother and sister in law were always very strong and determined to have the best care for the kids. Keep me posted, I love kids, I teach 3 yr olds after 22 yrs of teaching Kindergarteners and first graders.
Thanks! The big problem is the Dr. was from Texas Childrens Hospital! We are in search of a new one! So they told us we were out of the honey moon period but is it possiable we were wrong? And if his pancreas is still working a bit am I messing him up by giving him a lunch time shot! ARGGG! I am not smart enough for this!!!!! :< (
Hi, I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 17 months old and I'm 46 now. First of all, you should try a different doctor. One that is specialized in children. There is a reason why your son is having that problem and a good doctor should be able to figure it out. I can think of few things: he is growing, his pancreas is working off and on , maybe he is cheating his diet (after all he is a kid, I did that quite a few times and my parents didn't know), maybe he needs a different kind of insulin. I wish you and your son the best!
In the long run, yes, yo-yo numbers can do damage. In light of your other post about your endo's dismissal of your concerns, I would seek another doctor! I've also sent you a private message with another suggestion.
