Happy New Year!

Whew! The holidays are over. We had a wonderful Christmas reflecting on Christ's birth, death and resurrection. His sacrifice for our sin is the best gift of all.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Our Alarm Clock

This morning Tony and I realized how much we take Time for granted. No pun intended. She woke us up at 1 am. Amanda's blood sugar was 59. So Tony gave her a juice and a snack. He got in bed and told me that it will probably be high later, since he gave her a little more than usual to get it up. Sure enough, Time woke us up at 4 am and it was 272. So I gave her a bolus of insulin. We almost did it routinely. Time gets us up, we check her, treat Amanda with insulin or food and then give Time a treat, go back to bed.

Time has been a treasure. Before we would set an alarm for 2 am to go in and check her. Never knowing what her blood sugars are doing before that. Hoping you are catching it at the right time.

She still doesn't alert well during the day. But, we really don't mind. Amanda is awake and knows how she feels. We have Time check her often during the day and that seems to keep her sensitive to Amanda at night.

Grateful for our dog and the pump!
