Just wanna say thanks. I have a friend who’s son has type 1 . Their life has been turned upside down, and I know she doesnt have the time to explain all these things to me, and I so badly want to understand what she is saying, so I am learning through your posts of Caleb. Thank you Caleb, for helping me understand how Blake is feeling. He is 7 years old & this is very new to him. He said he would love a pump and I just needed to know what a pump was.You’re a great sport to help us all learn!
for being 5 years old and being able to poke himself to check his blood pressure is absolutly amazing, not many 5 year olds wouldnt do that. i think he is very brave
kids go through it everyday. With new treatment Diabetes is probably the most manageble condition in the world. For people with diabetes like me, this is just a normal part of life.
Im still trying to figure out if i want children out of fear i will give them this disease. Ive had diabetes since i was 11 years old. I dont know how some parents can handle it.
6gs of carbs will bring his BG up by 30-40 mg/dL
different people have different sensitivitys to insulin and carbs
so this may be his ‘correction factors’
lol. yes there are many meters a fraction of the size. that is actually his insulin pump as well as his meter. if you didn’t know that, i can see how it would look like a dinosaur! stay strong. i hate it too, but we live with it – well said!
i got diabetes typ 1 a year ago in sweden.
I hate it but i can live with it.
And OMG what is that blood device Huge i have one and its like 3 times smaller.
Be strong and keep fighting one day we will find a cure!!!
i honeymooned for about a year (i was diagnosed pretty early in) and one day, BAM, i ate a bag of chips and instead of my blood sugar going up six or seven points, it went up sixty-three! and then i fell out of honeymoon and started getting used to the way diabetes really was..
It is so. Does it seem like too few carbs to have that much of an impact? Caleb is only 6, so it doesn’t take much. If his BG is stable, every 4 carbs will have about a 25 point impact. .05 units of basal an hour has the same impact on his BG. As a child his sensitivity to food and insulin are both greater than for those older, or really, bigger than him.

It breaks my heart that such a little person has to deal with all this. He’s such a cutie. 🙂

oh dont worry, it will..
i honeymooned for about a year (i was diagnosed pretty early in) and one day, BAM, i ate a bag of chips and instead of my blood sugar going up six or seven points, it went up sixty-three! and then i fell out of honeymoon and started getting used to the way diabetes really was..
well im 15 and ive had diabetes for about 7 months…and im still in the honeymoon phase thing…so it really doesnt affect me like that so far

so your saying 6 carbs raises his blood sugar by 30-40? how is that so?
Good luck in future Caleb… ur so lucky to have that type of mom!!!
God Bless
