I really wish we could adjust things so that she could eat normally and we could dose insulin according to her diet rather than give her X amount of insulin and force XX amount of carbs to compensate for the insulin.
45 carbs is easy some times... say a ham sandwich ( 27 carbs) and some cheeseits (17carbs) , throw in a string cheese and some water or crystal light and you are good to go. Easy 45 carb lunch that a 5 yo will eat. But dinner, of say a chicken breast (0) and green beans( 10) and rice ( 35) isnt hard either until you are fussing at your kid to eat the CUP of rice required to get those numbers and ignoring the chicken on her plate. That will never sit well with me. Why cant we have less insulin and a normal 1/4-1/2 cup of rice?
Whats really odd is that the night she had no insulin( well, she had her Lantus) her numbers were EXCELLENT... 150-100 , she only dropped to just under 70 in the early morning hours. But the night when we push carbs and insulin we have to pump her up to 250+ to get her high enough because she crashes between 4-6am. ( Side note- I wish we had an alert dog. Granna- that does not mean to go buy one!)
It would be awesome to sleep instead of check her every 2-3 hours throughout the night.
On the other end, Mr. Man is getting huge! ( was he ever small?) Hes smiling and starting to laugh, jabbering a good bit and he has the CUTEST little diapered butt! See!
I just started cloth diapering this past week! Love it and I'm thoroughly obsessed now!
