So proud of my son....

Hello, All!

My son's AIC was a 7.5! :) Down from 8.9 in May and 9.9 in January:(. So I guess, we're doing good! My son is 16 has had t1d since he was 11 y.o. and currently, is being very responsible and cautious about his daily D care. He pretty much does everything on his own. Of course, I ask him about his #'s every couple of days, but I have to give him the majority of the credit on this one ;)

Just wanted to brag a bit...

That's excellent! My son was diagnosed at 11 also and will be 16 in Nov. We have had some challenges this past quarter so I'm not optimistic about his A1C, but I think his growth and hormones are reaking havoc on his numbers. Seems we've been making daily adjustments to his basal. Oh well, we've tried. Keep up the good work!

Congrats! I hope my 14 yo gets more responsible with his care by the time he is 16 - or even sooner would be nice :0). Any tips on how to get him to do that?

Wow, I'd love to have those tips, too!

I wish I had a magic formula to share with you all, but unfortunately I don't. Believe me, we have been on a roller coaster with Javier in regards to his d care. One thing that I can think of, in our case, is the fact that we have another son who was diagnosed 3+ years after Javier. His little brother looks up to him and I feel Javier feels a responsibility to set a good example. All I can say is don't give up, offer as much support as you can and pray, pray, pray....:)

The magic formula..can you patent that?
