Random thoughts:
* Trey has been blessed with the best school nurse in the history of school nurses. Seriously - she is so caring and kind and always keeps me in the loop of what his numbers are, what he eats and how much insulin he gets. I love love love love that she's not afraid to ask questions either. I trust her, 100% to make decisions without my input, but I also am glad she runs things by me. They have a very special bond and I'm so grateful for that. She's truly an angel.
* The pump is awesome. We are really liking how much it's lowered Trey's numbers and keeping him in range. Makes me anxious to see what his A1C number is in December now!
* Trey started hockey last night. Had his first practice. Before practice he was 185 and after he was 286. I'm a little frustrated that exercise raises him, but at the same time, I know this may not always be the case. We kept a close eye on his CGM monitor for those 45 minutes and he even would look at me and point to it as he wanted to know his number as well. He will wear his CGM for practice and games but not his pump. However, if he continues to raise during those 45 minutes we may need to discuss options with his medical team.
* November 14th is National Diabetes Day and you're supposed to wear BLUE to show your support. I emailed his teacher telling her of this day and said I would not be offended if she didn't wish to participate. Received the KinderNews weekly letter yesterday and she is asking the students to wear BLUE on Nov 14th to show their support for a fellow T1 friend and classmate. LOVE!
* Trey was at open skate on Sunday night at the ice rink and I noticed a girl and guy skating together. She was probably high school if not college, but I noticed she had an insulin pump on her pants. I smiled, grabbed Trey's attention and pointed it out to her and he smiled and nodded. Something I probably wouldn't have noticed before Trey's diaganoses but now I feel like everyone we see that has diabetes, we have a bond with.
Until next time .... Keep spreading awareness!!!
