It's like chasing the bouncing ball, Dewey. Nancy's well into her third decade as a type 1, but you learn never to become complacent.
You also learn to really, really keep your eyes open for the slightest change. You have to monitor the basal settings, etc. Not the same winter and summer as a rule.
But the results are worth the effort. Nancy's overall health is good otherwise. She had a hip replacement in mid April, did very well. Thats just the years taking their toll.
She achieved the 4 goals they set during out patient therapy in half the alloted time. But keeping the basal settings current as she went from almost zero activity to normal activity was a constant challenge. |
