The Not So Great but VERY Powerful Bolus

Arden's CGM vibrated on my leg. Earlier during the previews I asked Arden to give me her G4 so that I could monitor her BGs while we watched 'Oz The Great and Powerful'. The vibrations that her CGM sent through me were too intense to ignore and moments later I was greeted rudely by the message on it's small glowing screen.

Those straight down arrows strike fear in my heart so I'm thankful that I don't see them often. Even after 25 years with Type 1, diabetes is so hard but I just cannot imagine the fear and worry of a parent of a Type 1. Arden is beautiful and she is so lucky to have a great dad. Best to your family. :)

Oh my goodness....you had me sitting at the edge of my seat. Handling diabetes in oneself is one thing....but in your child...a totally different scenario!
Many hugs!!
