Update

Just an update. Medtronic now allows us to download the Minimed pump to their website and I can watch her blood sugar trends and see how many carbs she is eating. This has helped so much. We have much better control right now of her blood sugars. I actually think Time is a little bored. Not as many treats. So, I am going to tighten the range a little bit and give her treats when she is not between 80 and 200. I'm so glad that this is where we are. For so long she was always 200 or more. So that would have been constant alerting. Praise the Lord for better control. This is good news in the long run for a diabetic, since constant high blood sugars are hard on all of your organs and can cause serious health issues later.

Amanda turns 12 Monday, April 20. She was diagnosed when she was 6- so half of her life she has had diabetes. She is getting so tall- sometimes I think there is Miracle Grow in the insulin.
