| my daughter was diagnosed about a year ago. Shes 10. She used to never get sick and now shes always sick. If not a headache..its her stomache. We have to change her doses all the time. She is prepuberty but when I start to pms her numbers go up and stay up til im done. Last 5 months like clockwork. Im a 21 day cycle and I swear shes on it with me. Her headaches are worse during that time I assume its cuz shes higher then. Shes recently been having lows 20-50 all night long. I feed her every 30 minutes and retest and she'll still be low. .Doc says keep feeding and testing and eventually she'll come up. Theyve lowered her insilin down to 2 units and last week it was 18. Does this happen a lot? Thelast 5 nights Ive been up til 3 or 4 am re testing and feeding her. Sometimes 30 carbs at a time. Im single mom of 3kids. 18 month 3 years and 10yrs. I get so angry with the highs , lows, aches and pains. The doc tells me that with her in prepuberty and then real puberty its gunna be a bit shaky but this feels insane to me. We have 3 different scales for each meal and they have to change it all the time. I m scared to death of what will happen if she actually gets a flu bug or a cold. Because I have to test her so much , we run out of supplies cuz ins wont pay for extra stuff and I cant work cuz shes at home with high keytones for a week then ok for a week then home for 2 days then ok for a few. God bless her little heart tho she and I keep thanking god its not cancer or somethin. Thats how we deal! she suggested we ask for donations of beads etc and make necklaces to make money to buy the xtra test strips. I told her that was a good idea and she said shed rather give any extra money to to find a cure for cancer rather thatn for diabetes cuz those kids are more sick than her. Proud Mom of three here, didnt mean to go on and on but Ive never been on line to try a forum thingy and have no one to talk to but the doc and ash.  |
