Thank you all! Great suggestions and feedback. I think we are on the right track...and have implemented many of the suggestions above.
This stopped me in my tracks. The update is that our practice brought on a new pediatric endo so our time with the other Dr. was short lived....
Thank you ALL for your thoughts. Very much appreciated. We are headed back to the endos office Friday for a progress check. Then we have her...
Sounds fun doesn't it? New Endo appointment today. The Dr. is very intelligent, knows his stuff and has a ton of experience with kids, and...
Just learned our Endo is leaving our local practice and there's not much to choose from here now. I'm located south of Atlanta, but within...
QUOTE=leahthomas87;774676]Hi. I hope you don't mind me forming this thread - I'm not the parent of a diabetic myself (I have type 1 as does my...
Hi all, my daughter's Omnipods are delivered via FedEx every 3 months on time, every time. Today's shipment of 30 'pods sat on our front porch...

Very interesting. MA tries to stay 110 to 120 at bedtime (10 to 1030pm) nightly. Evening meal is usually 630pm, she'll test at 830pm, and then...
At dx we met with a couple of diabetes educators. One focused on the equipment (meters, strips, lancets, needles, vials, pens, etc) and the other...
Wow. I guess it is different, and by a wide margin, from kid to kid. MA controls well with roughly 6 - 8 units Novolog and 15 units Lantus...
Calorie King book would help, or the Blackberry calorie counter app. Bringing down a high is pretty straighforward. For us, we know that 1...
Ashtray and coin tray in the Land Rover were full of cotton swabs, used test strips and torn packages of alcohol wipes. Emptied them just...
Columbus, Georgia here. But I'd rather be on the coast.
Exactly. I'd just add a unit or half to her breakfast dose, then roll with the doughnut and juice. You'll never know what to do until you try....
OK, now THAT would have pissed me off too. I admit it.
