Holly commented on Elizabeth's blog post 'Type 1 diabetes as a mad slasher movie script'"I love IT!!!!"
Holly replied to Kervinator's discussion 'Rock and a hard place...'"Sorry. I re-read the post and I got it wrong thanks!"
Holly replied to Holly's discussion 'I just need to vent.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Better and worse. I try to stay positive and most days that is easy but some days not so much. Know what I mean? Today is a good day. Thanks for checking."
Holly replied to Holly's discussion 'CGM with Medtronic 522 Pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Well we tried it again last Wednesday and she still has it on. I don't think that it is lasting the full 6 days she is getting about four days out of it and then it needs to be changed. So far though two changes down and we still have it on.…"
Ben's Mom replied to Holly's discussion 'I just need to vent.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I just read this today, sounds like you have a ton on your plate. I hope your days since have been good days :)"
Holly replied to Kervinator's discussion 'Rock and a hard place...'"I am speaking as a mother of a 8yo T1 and maybe the co-worker thinks that she has found someone to talk to about her child. Perhaps it isn't comparing as looking for someone who has been there done that and perhaps she just needs to vent to…"
Holly replied to Lexi's Step Mom's discussion 'Lexi is Lying about BS!!!!'"So far I have only had that problem once. When she ate some crackers and then went to check herself for dinner and was almost 400!!!! Couldn't figure out why until I noticed the empty container in the bedroom!!! This happened a while ago and…"
Holly replied to Chuck Banks's discussion 'The big picture'"I can only answer this as a mother. My T1 daughter was diagnosed 4 years ago at 4 and is now eight. When she was in the PIC unit I went outside while my husband was with her and called my brother. I cried and screamed for about twenty min. Then I…"
Holly replied to boulderbird's discussion 'What kind of pump?'"My T1 daughter has the medtronic mini med. I like the features and the customer service is great. I have great insurance so that wasn't a consideration for me. So far we have not had any problems with it. The clip did break twice but they…"
Holly replied to laceyma's discussion 'I just need to talk this out. Divorce...'"I agree it doesn't look like diabetes is the issue. Have you suggested counseling to him? If he won't go what about you and the children? It would be helpful if he would participate but not always necessary. Try it maybe it would give you…"
Holly replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Do you have problems on the third day?'"I know that with my T1 daughter we change sights every two days. We noticed on the third day she would run into the two hundreds and we couldn't get her down. Now it seems to be better."
Holly replied to Lexi's Step Mom's discussion 'Lexi is Lying about BS!!!!'"My daughter is 8 and I have heard the same things from other parents. I think that camp is a good idea. Like someone here said you can get financial aide from most places. I did. My daughter is going to camp Najeda in NJ at the end of this month.…"
Holly replied to Holly's discussion 'CGM with Medtronic 522 Pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thanks I will try that and let you know."
Chris replied to Holly's discussion 'CGM with Medtronic 522 Pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I feel your pain. We went through the same problems. Here is a few tips we learned that seems to have helped. 1) after you do the insert, wait 20 minutes or so before plugging in the sensor and connecting to your pump. Something about letting the…"
Theo Pella replied to Holly's discussion 'CGM with Medtronic 522 Pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I would call your CGM Rep and go over the problems. They will tell you what to do or try. I'd do that before trying it again. If it's the sensor this is malfunctioning, you don't want to put your daughter through that again. Make sure…"

Jacob's mom said… I can definitely see how adding celiac in would add insult to injury. I would definitely have a hard time adjusting, at least with diabetes they can eat what they want within reason, now you really have to change things up, say no to certain things and spend more at the grocery store! in the end she will be healthier and maybe the rest of your family too, going gluten free is'in vogue' so to speak so hopefully the transition will not be horrible. hang in there this site has been very helpful in helping me deal with things. just being heard if helpful in and of itself! if you need to vent i'll listen! best wishes amy

i agree 100% with your recent post, the arguing got to me to, we come here for support only, i hope you are having a good week with your daughter, i've been feeling alittle blue about things lately, i guess i will put my "big girl pants on" and deal with it, i like that one, i also like that somehow, my son handles all this very well and is ussually less reactive than me thank god for kids, like you said they are the same great kids they were before diagnosis, maybe better, people with easy lifes dont appreciate what they have! hang in, amy
