Cam is scheduled for a 3-5 day stay in the hospital next week for surgery. His endocrinologist has already said to sign a waiver and control his blood sugar myself. I forgot to ask what I need to…Continue
Insurance

I had to drop our life insurance a few years ago (before Cam was diagnosed). I'm sure you know where this is headed... Anyway, my soon to be ex-husband was unemployed, and I had to cut costs. Life…Continue

Cameron has to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. I know this is a simple procedure for non-diabetics, but don't know what to expect for him. He will be inpatient I know. What are they going to…Continue

Shant replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thank you, at least I know I am not alone. Like I told the caseworker, we had perfect control until the last year or so. Do they think I woke up one day and decided to no longer care?"
Shant replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Did the bloodwork Monday. Waiting on the results. She said to thank you, she completely forgot about that."
sarhow replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Excellent. They need to figure out what is wrong. From what you described, his blood sugar should not be going that high from just the food; something else is going on."
type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"It's always a good idea to handle your child's insulin needs while in the hospital. Everyone is so different and the staff would not be familiar with your child's specific needs. It would take many days of trial and error for anyone…"
Theo Pella replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"What is sad is that in the medical community, very little is known about diabetes, specially type 1. Unless the Doctors and Nurses have had extensive training, they do not know. We took our child in to the hospital last year for a head injury and…"
type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"By the way, your kitchen sounds like mine. We could probably bond over rising bread. Now on to figuring out how to stabilize your son's blood sugar. Were you able to get an appt. with his Dr. to look into possible celiac?"
type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Update on social services case' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Perfect, Shant. I'm so glad to hear this."
Shant added a discussion to the group parents of kids with Type 1
Update on social services case
The case worker was here about ten minutes. She said she had to go through the routine, but had already spoken to his pediatrician (we actually used Dr. Gheesling as a reference). She said I was more knowledgeable than any parent she had spoken to. She said the pediatrician said I was one of the most protective parents she knew, funny thing so did the doctor that reported me. They feared that I was not monitoring his sugar intake. I took her into my kitchen. She was amazed that I don't even…See More
Shant replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I don't want celiac, but at least I would have an answer.Trent's diet is stricter than the celiac diet anyway, so it wouldn't be a major change. Gluten free replaces things with rice substitutes, and his brother is allergic to rice so…"
Shant replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I think Trent is suffering through it as well. He has syncope and 6 major allergies, so he usually comes with me unless it is during the school week. I think the stress causes more episodes of passing out for him. His diet is more strict than…"
type3mom replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Wouldn't it be great if this could be an answer for you? Not great to have celiac, but if you could have a solution!"
"I don't have any specific advice or steps. Sounds like some of the other contributors have given you great track to run on. I would echo what they said about diet and breakfast choices. Cereal and milk used to make a mess of his BG's (and…"
Shant replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"We have been dealing with this for 4 years now. We have read every book, taken every class, attended every group we ca find. I make my own granola so I know what is in it. I have another child with severe allergies to wheat, soy, corn, seafood,…"
Shant replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"He does have the stomach issues.Trent was tested for celiac and Barrettes when he was having stomach problems. I never considered Cam because I always linked it to ketones. I will call his pediatrician today."
