The Dexcom is here! Yeah! We unpacked it, applied numbing cream, & inserted it before heading to K-group tonight! The 2 hour warm-up period ended on the way home & it is working great right now!!!
Andrew woke up at 44 this morning & then dropped to 36 after juice. We desperately poured in sugar after our experiences the last few days with not being able to get him up. He came up, but we were afraid to bolus for breakfast. By snack, of course, he was high, so we gave a correction. Then he started falling hard & fast again. I'm afraid the nurse had a rather stressful day. He was low again before dinner so we gave only half of the recommended dinner bolus. He's running high now, but we need to tolerate that a little to get him off the yo-yo. His doctor called me on my cell today! He doesn't think we need any new labs. All the labwork this summer was normal. He doesn't know anything about Glucocare but supports our trying it. Vanderbilt offered CGM start classes, but when I told him the rep said we could follow the tutorials & start he approved that too.
Our K-group prayed for Andrew tonight & it was really sweet! God has definitely used these experiences to make Andrew's heart receptive to having the CGM. He is actually excited. We were both worried about insertion, but it went great! Tonight, I feel very blessed!
