Hi - I'm really glad your son managed to get caught up on his assignments and you're no longer worried about him failing school. I agree that...
My non-D child wet the bed until she was about 11 years old. The doctor said it occurs in at least 10% of the child population and has a genetic...
I would also educate your 10 year old regarding lows. Make sure he knows how to use the glucagon shot. You don't have to make it a big scary deal,...
The still working insulin should be factored in. This is called "insulin on board" or IOB. A pump has preprogrammed algorithms in it to deal with...
Uh, she has diabetes? That's my guess. Lol. Not being snarky, just totally understand wanting an explanation. Sometimes my DD runs lower when I...
I think you both did great! I give my DD options too. She's the same age as your DD. Lately I've not given her options, but instead have asked her...
The expenses submitted before the March deadline have to be for the FSA year. For example, if I have $1,000 in a 2014 FSA and haven't claimed $200...

I know you said your daughter ate. I hope you know this for a fact and it's not based on what the nurse said. I totally understand what Wilf is...
The nurse was mistaken or lied about the 11 BG, so I wasn't sure if she misrepresented other facts. I'm sure your version is correct if the child...
How can you be sure she ate lunch at 11:00? What if the nurse pre-bolused at 10:40, no food eaten for whatever reason (nurse forgot or not paying...
Is your husband suffering from depression? He sounds like my ex-husband. Is the behavior new or just worse for you now because of the diabetes...
In addition to everything listed, it would be great if the meter would automatically text the blood sugar to phone numbers you enter. The light...
Chewing gum. Studies show chewing gum while studying or taking tests improves concentration. Brain food? How about fish? Canned tuna or...
Congratulations to you both! Thanks for the inspiring post. It gives me hope to hear these as we head into the teen years.
Guilt free here. I initially felt a sense of responsibility, as if I had done something "wrong" to cause DD's diabetes, but that only lasted a...
Around age 10, our Endo told us to change DD's site every other day rather than the 3 - 4 days we'd been doing. The Endo said DD was near the...
I just read about this on NPR's website. I haven't tried the product, so I can't vouch for it, but I thought it might be useful for parents who...
