Sometimes my life gets in the way of this blog.  Things have been crazy-busy around here for the last month.  We've moved again and it's been nuts trying to get that accomplished with two toddlers underfoot.

Olivia went to camp again this year and had a great time.  She seems to have made even more friends this year and spends a lot of time on the phone and the computer, chatting with them.  I'm thrilled to see her forming such great bonds with these other girls.  It's just too bad that most of them don't live closer.  

While she was at camp, Olivia's blood sugars kept dropping very low.  I'm sure it was all the extra activity, but at one point, they had a 3 hour overnight basal set to zero.  That's NEVER happened at home.   She's gradually gone back to needing more insulin, especially overnight, but her needs do seem to have dropped a tiny bit. 

Her comment over all the lows?  "Mom, my a1c is going to be great this quarter!!"  Uh, yes, I guess it will, but maybe we could work on getting it down without you having to get poked 50 times a day. 

Things are calming down here a bit.  We're gearing up for back-to-school, which has a whole set of issues to talk about next time.  But for now, she doesn't care about the diabetes stuff, she just wants a hair cut and some new clothes and she'll be good to go.  I'll be the one also worrying about informational packets and recalcitrant teachers.
