Thirty-something

I would like to blame that lovely number on NPH but nope it's thanks to good old Humalog and it's wonderful tail that we have come to love so much as of late. This is one of the lowest numbers we have ever seen and we are forever thankful that we were able to react quickly enough and get it back up without experiencing any serious complications to Our Sugar Babie at least that we are aware of.

Wendy wrote a powerful and loving post entitled: LOWdown last week that expressed everything that I have been thinking and feeling about a recent low her Sugar experienced that made me wonder just how Our Sugar Babie has been feeling with the constant daily lows he has been experiencing over the last couple of weeks but just can't verbally express yet other than starting to ask for apple juice. I had been thinking these lows where due to the NPH peaking before it was supposed to but knew it was just too soon to see an NPH peak so my love-hate relationship must now shift to Humalog and if I could cut off it's tail I would! I hope and pray that we don't see a number like this again if I have anything to do with it for a very long time.

Until then, I just keep repeating the words over and over again in my head that Wendy said about Sugar..."this low stopped Our Sugar Babie for a moment in time, but it hasn't slowed him down in the game of life." Thanks for those words Wendy, they and you reached out and touched my heart more than you will ever know.

  1. I think it's almost harder as a parent to recover from the emotional impact of a low. Our little guys get scared, too, but I think they're back up and running more quickly - I get bummed for a day or more (likely have PTSD at this point!), esp. if we've used mini-glucagon. But thankfully, the tools are there, as is the DOC! Hugs!
