Ben's results are in & all great news! The celiac panel was negative & the sed rate & A1c are all great! Ben's A1c was 4.9! The highs we saw with illness must have been just that - just illness! Yeah!!!
Andrew has been scaring us with his lows. He went low just after 7 pm last night & we could get him over 61 until nearly 9 pm! We tried juice, glucose tabs, an entire can of sprite, candy! He ate over 130 untreated carbs over the two hours before coming up. We even called the Vanderbilt doctor on call. Tonight he was low again for over an hour - this time before dinner. It took over an hour & being disconnected from the pump to come up. I bolused the missed basal & nothing for over 100carbs & he went low again! I'm sure he will spike later, but this is very strange. It's like he's going into a honeymoon again! We didn't even give him the Glucocare today. We're waiting on the CGM before giving him any more. The doctor last night mentioned looking for other endocrine problems like thyroid or Addison's, but I really hope it's the Glucocare. It's 10 pm, he had > 100 carbs again tonight, mostly empty carbs like juice, glucose tabs, sprite & ice cream + he had a hot pocket & I made him eat a couple peanut butter crackers before bed. No bolus except the missed basal & he's only 176! He's eating horribly just trying to get his blood sugar up. I have appreciated the prayers of friends & family through this blog & Facebook. Thank you!
Praying for good numbers for Andrew and peace of mind for you Kimberly. You are a great loving dedicated mom... Andrew is blessed to have you
