While I attended the parent meeting, which was filled with good information and great families, the kids […]

Youngest daughter’s appointment was today. She’s 5′4″ now, the same height as my mom and two inches shorter than me.
Her A1C was not so good this time. The A1C is a number obtained from a blood test that shows what the average blood sugar level has been for the past 2-3 months. […]

I worked an hour late this afternoon since tomorrow is youngest daughter’s quarterly appointment with the endocrinologist. When I got home, she was in bed sleeping. Oldest daughter and son said she had a snack after school and then went to bed. Not typical behavior for her. Not at all.
I checked […]

Youngest DD and I signed up for a drawing on Saturday at Walgreens. The prize was the gift basket above. I had a message last night saying that DD won it, so we picked it up this afternoon. She is thrilled! It’s filled with beauty products, samples and two gift cards to Chili’s.

This was youngest daughter’s blood sugar reading after 7 units of insulin as a correction factor an hour before when the reading was 535. I think the tubing to her insulin pump may have been twisted today, or the cannula got bent, or something was off. Her numbers have been crazy since […]

The Barnes and Noble Meet the Writers podcast with Steve Bertrand is one of my favorite podcasts. Recently, I listened to an interview with Steve Cojocaru. He’s recently written Glamour, Interruped. In the interview, Steve Cojocaru spoke about his diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease, his career, and his outlook on life.

I wrote to the Senators and Representatives from Oklahoma in October after I wrote this post. Several of the senators and representatives have responded.

I’m home with youngest daughter today. Her morning blood sugar reading was 347. The goal is to stay between 80 and 150. Typical morning readings are around 100.
She did a correction bolus and is back in bed asleep. She’s been complaining of headaches, a sore throat and has sinus drainage for […]
