A poster named Peg asked a question on one of my recent posts. She wanted to know if I had any suggestions on how to get her grandson to stop sneaking food that he wasn't supposed to have.

I don't know what kind of regimen your grandson is on, so I'm not sure exactly how much help I can be, but I'll give you suggestions for what we've done with Olivia. Maybe one of these will work with your grandson.

Well, as I expected, raising Olivia's basal rates sent her plummeting into some nasty lows. I've put her rates back to where they were (thank goodness for different basal settings - I don't have to re-program the pump). She couldn't get out of the 60s today. She felt lousy and spent a good portion of the morning guzzling juice.

I can't figure this out. It's so frustrating. She's not sneaking food. She's not eating more than usual - at least, not since Christmas day - but her numbers were astronomical and took a couple of days of increased basals to get down. She doesn't have her period, although that's another bone of contention - she never tells me when she gets it and unless I happen to notice...stuff...it doesn't get recorded in her log. Very frustrating.

I hate this stupid disease. It frustrates me on so many levels and I don't handle frustration very well.

Long day.
Long day after a long night after a long day after a long night. Tired. Very tired.
Not in mood tonight to negotiate with Charlie when he throws a minor tantrum because it's shower time.
Angry dad voice comes out. I hate my angry dad voice. I hate using it on any of my kids, but I'm especially regretful after the fact with Charlie.
Charlie whips his head back on to the couch and then lays face down on the floor. I've asked him five times now to come up with me for a shower.
"Charlie! Get. Upstairs. Now!"
He crawls upstairs slowly on hands and knees like a weak desert wanderer searching for water. "Can't," he moans. "I'm so tired."
I'm certain he'd be up the stairs like a leopard if said let's play a video game.
"Charlie! Now!"
The voice in my head tells me he can't be low, you just tested him. Don't fall for it. He's just being a 5 year old not getting his way. (READ MORE)

I have a bad case of tech envy. The other day, I checked out the Animas website to look at the  specs on the Animas 2020 because my friend just went on it. Instead of being swept away with the 2020 like I thought might happen, I am now wholly, madly, deeply in love with the new One Touch Ping that Animas has created.

 

I currently use the Minimed Paradigm 522. Up  until a few days ago, I was quite content with it. I love the fact that my CGMS is included in the device so I don't have to wear two hefty machines. I love the  ease of the Bolus Wizard. The way it calculates my average blood sugars, basal and bolus insulin, plus my carbs is absolutely amazing.

Before you read any further, I want you to know that this is not a terribly uplifting post. And I won't fault you if you decide to stop reading now.
One of the worst parts of having diabetes, for me, is how vulnerable it makes me feel. In the past, I've expressed my fears related to this disease on this blog and my personal blog. I am not a person that lets fear deter me. I push on, I make my way in spite of the fact that I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the possibility of disaster that life presents.
But, you know, life with diabetes presents a whole other set of disastrous possibilities. (READ MORE)

I've kind of given up when it comes to the holidays. Olivia's pretty good about not going nuts with the junk, but it's there and I'm not going to tell her she can't have something. I will ration, to a certain extent, but we talk about it and work out a compromise.

It's really hard sometimes, though, especially with the homemade baked goods. I SWAG bolus a lot and I must admit, I'm pretty good at it. Olivia does stay away from things like Hello Dollies and fudge, but she does like cookies and pies and such.

While in Mexico, my previous pleasant numbers took a turn for the worst. My averages jumped from 130 to 170. Despite proactive measures and many reactive measures, I could not seem to control any of my blood sugars.

 

My blood sugars ran fine the first two days. I actually ended up low for the majority of the time, so I lowered my basal. We were walking all over the city, in the heat for extended periods of time, and eating at unusual times (11 pm for dinner).
