So last year I was not one for celebrating Cham's incompetent pancreas. This year, however, I decided to embrace it and show Cham how proud I am of her for taking on diabetes and conquering the use of the Ping. We started the morning with a grande caramel Starbucks and a Manske roll. This alone was 120 carbs. She was low when she woke up so it was nice to be able to bring her up with a massive sugar intake. She decided to eat dinner at BJ's, so we all met there and she was adorned with gifts from the fam. Mop and Pop got her some Uggs, Uncle Adam and Aunt Jennifer got her iTunes, and we got her some earrings from Brighton. Mop made her some dessert from Pinterest - brownie, cookie and Reese's all rolled into one. Her dinner was around 120 carbs, too! She needed 16.5 units to cover it, but the Ping's so smart, it wouldn't let her go over 16 units. That pump has made a huge difference in the way we maintain her diabetes, and if she's happy, we're happy. We do the JDRF walk next Saturday - go team "Chamberlyn's Champs"!
