The point of this blog...my kid, of course.

Chamberlyn's T1 Diabetes D-Day (Diagnosis Day) was October 19, 2010. I decided to start writing her story almost nine months later because managing her diabetes is what our family does best. We have our "highs" and "lows" when dealing with this confounding autoimmune disease, and I hope our posts can provide some insight on the daily life of a person with T1 diabetes.

"PING"ing along...


The Houston JDRF Walk is at Reliant on October 27th this year. We've already formed our team and reached our fundraising goal!! Tagxedo might be cool on a walk t-shirt! Of course, there are the mustache designs she's wanting, as well. We shall await the final verdict....

Pump numbers and rates are still being played with. It is definitely a process using trial and error. We've discovered that because she goes low wearing the pump at dance, she can disconnect during that time and still be at a decent level around dinner. It also gets in her way at times, so it's better that Izzy (the pump) waits in the wings while Cham dances. No real issues with the pump itself, just her allergy meds messing with BG. Along with those meds, an inset cannula looked a little bent after removal and we thought her numbers might be high because of delivery issues. So which was it? Still undetermined - her numbers would drop while using the bent cannula and taking the meds, but would also spike really high. We'll just wait until the next time she needs the meds to test that theory!
