4:37 Am

And we just finished our second carb binge in the last 4 hours.

Tom skateboarded for a good 12 hours today, at a skatepark, with breaks in between for gatorade (much) and food (apparently not so much).

Checked his sugar at 10:30 (80), juiced, carbed and injected; skated another 1.5 hours, checked (71), corrected with carbs and went to bed; checked at 4 AM (81), corrected with carbs and back to bed (we have to get through another 5 hours of sleep).

Ah the joys of physical activity.

Me, I'm up in 3ish hours for a 3 hour trip to see my other spawn. Yeah, the one who called me at 2:25 AM just to say hi. Can you say under the influence?

Well, it's nice to know I wasn't the only one up all night, only we were struggling with highs. It was my first D all nighter. She started going up about 9:00 and ended up with a 447 at 4:00 a.m. before she went down. At least I hope she is down.

Kids are so funny aren't they. That gave me a good morning chuckle:)

[EmmasMom]

Oh Becky, you are too funny! :D

I know those of us with little ones get a lot of "I don't know how you do it" comments, but I just have to say to those of you with teens.... I don't know how you do it!!!!!:) At least I have ~some~ control over Emma.

Try to get some rest! I'm sure your other "spawn" could use the extra sleep today too... sounds like a long night all the way around!

[Julie]

LOL

It's never quite easier, is it? Just different at different ages ;)

Hope he's doing well today :)

Ah yes, the joys of physical activity! Cameron is so tired of eating every 45 minutes or so when he's having an active day. Of course, his friends all think it's so cool that he gets to snack all day long!:rolleyes:

Your 2 a.m. call from your daughter reminded me of when my brother first went off to college and called home at midnight to tell us it had started snowing!:D I'm sure a bit of imbibing was going on prior to the call.... Needless to say, my parents were not that impressed!;)

[Vi'sMom]

WOW was it just a bad night for D kids all the way around last night or something?

We were up carbing 3 times last night too. 11pm 66 bs 1 am 61 bs and 3 was 82. wow.

As someone said in another thread, we are the only parents that wake our kids in the middle of the night to drink soda or have something sugary.

Is it the moon?!?!?! I was just reading everyone's responses and we too were up all night fighting lows.... 44 to 60 to 66 to 112....... It was great for me to keep getting up every half hour and then get up at 4 and go to work - ugh.... Ah the joys of parenting a diabetic! haha.... Bella was a BEAR too, the next day, the poor kid didnt get much sleep at all...

I love your comment about your daughter! My sister does that to me... I don't even want to know whats going to happen when my three are in college! haha

Here's hoping everyone has the next few nights with perfect numbers!!! :)
