Tanya Paul commented on Leah D. Rogers's blog post '"TU"diabetes'
I read the post from Manny and was happy to know that I was right!!!!!! I had a bit of an advantage because my husband is Mexican and speaks Spanish. But Leah, I have to admit that it took some thinking for me.

Three new infusion sets in only 11 hours!

Jillian has been a human pincushion since yesterday. She had a blood draw at 4:00, a set change at 7:00 and we tried something new with the change that did not work. She has been getting a itchy, bumpy red rash around her infusion site the last couple of times. We used the tegaderm under the site thinking that it would work as a good barrier but the sides lifted up and lifted the set with it. So then she had another set change at 10:00 pm. Her dad did it and trying not to have Jillian get up to… Continue

daughter's bg was just 34, retested and it was 35 (no error)

Ok, earlier today I was upset because Jillian had a bg of 44 at school. She drank juice and got up to 158. She got out of school and all was fine. She had dinner and not 30 minutes later she was 34!! Tested again to see if it was an error, got 35. Drank juice and went back up to 148. Great. Tested 20 minutes later and back down to 90. She dropped 60 points within 20 minutes while just sitting on the couch and having drank juice less than 1 hour prior. The only thing that I can come up with is th… Continue

Just when you think that you have a grip on bg numbers...

Jillian (my eight year old T1) just called me from school "Mamma...I'm lower than I've ever been before. I'm 44". Crap!! Just when she seems to be doing good it gets out of hand. I just talked to her at 11:30 before lunch, counted carbs with her, input info. in the pump and off she went. Now it's only 2 hours later and look. It just really sucks!! I just thank God that she felt fine, at least I think that I'm glad. Not sure. I guess it would have been better if she had felt it coming. Guess I'm… Continue

"TU"diabetes

OK, this may be a dumb question but I have been on this site for a while now and have no idea what the "TU" in tudiabetes means. Can someone please tell me. Thanks, Leah

Leah- Thank you so much for your beautiful words regarding my post-<<b>b>You dparents continue to amaze me on a daily basis-your all stronger than Atlas himself- and your weight is much heavier!

Times have changed for the better and we still have so far to go!

Hi Leah! Thanks for the words of encouragement :) Relocating is definitely not the easiest thing in the world, but it's definitely not the hardest either. I see you're back in California...lucky! I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, as I can only imagine how a parent feels when a child is diagnosed with t1. I know my own mom was freaking out when I got it at age 9! It looks like you are holding up well and I really admire that :)

Hey, Leah...thanks for the comment. Yeah, it was tough to hear about our friend, especially having been there just two months ago. They're doing well so far...
As for the break for Momma...not so much. DH is writing his Master's Thesis and working full time plus working a weekend or two when he can right now so free time for him is at a minimum. He does manage to give me little breaks here and there which helps.... Thankfully preschool starts in the Fall! 5 months and counting! LOL But then I'll worry about how she's doing there. It never stops, does it? :)

OK, I'll try it one last time. Since you can't edit these comments once you hit "add comment", just in case it doesn't work, just add "tock" to the link in the comment below where it cut off my name, and paste that whole thing into your browser. (and only if you are really bored)

Leah, I'm involved in several seemingly unrelated endeavors. I try to stay busy when I can. The main area I work in is in the Portfolio/Project Management Industry, working with various companies, organizations, government agencies and the military. When you are bored, the details can be found here:
http://www.linkedin.com/in/timmcclintock

In my spare time, when I'm not hanging out with my family, I also have a production company, working with Christian ministries and ministers doing production/post production. It's my way of ministering to ministers. And currently, I'm developing video production support for doing Legacy Interview's with senior's who want to leave high-end legacy DVD/Blue-Ray Video's for their children, grandchildren, etc. (I need to have something to do if I ever retire, and/or a backup plan in this weird economy if work should slow down...) I don't think I'd do so well at Walmart. :-)
