MariaCDE commented on Landon and Brennen's Mom's blog post 'Our Crazy Life!'"Wow,hats off to you and Brennen. Ann's comment about the blood test for Celiac is correct. It has to be high for the blood test to be proof positive of a diagnosis. If the blood test does not confirm it, (You won't like what I'm about…"
Ann commented on Landon and Brennen's Mom's blog post 'Our Crazy Life!'"I hope you get encouraging results from the tests, too!

Landon and Brennen's Mom posted a blog postOur Crazy Life!
The last year since diagnosis has been super hectic for me and my family. We have been going through a lot, so I have been trying to journal some of the major events that have been happening. Someone at my work recently told me that I should write a book about my crazy life. I kind of thought the same thing, that is why I had been trying to record some things. So tonight I wrote about some of the latest things that have been happening with Brennen's diabetes. The following is my "jornal"…See More

Landon and Brennen's Mom replied to estpeters's discussion 'Pumping ?s' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son is 3 and 34 lbs. He is on the Omnipod. Pros: it has no tubing. Easy to use. Don't physically have to carry anything on your body (PDM). Con: occasionally have a string of malfunctioning pods. Since the child is so small, you have more…"

At that point our endo told us they like kids his age (3) to be below 8.5. At his most recent appointment at the beginning of this month, his A1C was at 6.3. We were told that that may be…"

Our first vacation after diagnosis was a success. I was very nervous and worried because we were traveling by plane to visit family in Puerto Rico for 10 days and I have heard horror stories about airline travel with diabetes supplies and pumps. Thank goodness it went off without a hitch (at least as far as the T1 stuff was concerned, but everything else is another story entirely.) I was trying to be extra prepared. We took a whole box of pods (10) even though we only needed to change it 4… Continue
Sick Day #1

Yesterday was a very busy day for me and my family. I was in my childhood best friend's wedding and my family was also invited. The boys seemed to have a great time at the reception. They had a blast dancing the night away! As it got later, they started to wind down and my five year old even fell asleep on two chairs that had been pushed together. So, my parents, who were also there, offered to take the boys home with them for the night and said we could just get them in the morning so they… Continue
A little concerned.

So, my 5 year old son has wet the bed (through his pull-up) two nights in a row now. Since this was one of my younger son's first symptoms before diagnosis, I begin to worry a little. My five year old would definatley not handle life with diabetes well at all, so I am praying that I am just being overly sensitive to something that is really nothing. My mom gave me the idea of checking his blood glucose once he went to sleep (he freaks out at the mere thought of blood.) So, I checked him and it… Continue
