I recently solicited questions and got a taker (whoo!). katdiego asked: "Hi Julia, My daughter is almost 11, dx'd at age 6, wears a pump. I'm curious about puberty. At what age did you start noticing a monthly trend? What can I expect? I had heard that girls start showing an increase in insulin needs monthly for quite some time before they actually start to menstrate. And what about teenage rebellion? Does your daughter still take care of herself? Any advice on keeping you child engaged and conscientious about their diabetes care? Has she experienced burnout? I apologize if you have talked about these things previously. "

She also gave me some lovely compliments, so thanks, kat.

I nodded while sucking the last of the juice from the box. We were both exhausted and had decided to go to bed early. It was just barely 9:30 p.m. and we were settling in for a snuggle and some TV.

Although, I really thought I hadn't taken enough, especially after my second helping of cheesy potatoes. I was more shocked at the bedtime low, though, since I had treated the dinnertime low with a juice box and then had some ice cream, for which I was certain I hadn't taken enough insulin. (READ MORE)
