Happy Halloween: Tricks on Me!

Happy Halloween!  This is just our second year celebrating Halloween with Diabetes.  I have read SO many wonderful posts filled with ideas for successfully managing Halloween and diabetes.  It was great for me to take bits and pieces of each of these posts and develop a plan that I thought would work for us.  I loved reading all the different perspectives so much that I have decided to include the links at the bottom of this post.

After reading the insights of many fellow D Mamas...  this is how we decided to handle Halloween this year.  We let the kids participate in ALL of the Halloween hoopla.  School parties, Costume parade, Bobbing for apples, Cupcake decorating, Candy Corn toss and relay, and TRICK or TREAT, of course!  I believe that there is a limit on the amount of candy that all of my kids should consume...factoring in diabetes or not.  With that being said, I do let my kids have a day or two of overindulging on candy.  Ally is not a very big candy person, really.  After the initial excitement wears off, I am willing to bet that her bowl of candy would sit untouched for weeks.  (Not the same for Jessi...she'd sneak the candy day and night until every single piece was gone.)  So, we planned to let the kids pick out a few pieces of candy each day that they may enjoy....covering the carbs for Ally's with insulin, of course.  I think that if I took their candy away right off the bat they would be heartbroken.  Plus, it's kind of like when you are on a diet...You tell yourself that you can't have something, then you tend to crave it even more.  After a few days, the rest of the candy will just "disappear" and something special will take its place in the candy bowl.  (Right now, I'm thinking something simple like new fancy chapstick, fingernail polish, etc.)  I liked some of the suggestions that I read to keep the candy that could be stashed away for treating lows...however, as I mentioned before, Ally is not a big candy eater and she would rather eat a glucose tablet than a piece of candy.

I was prepared!  I hoped that I would be able to ward off the crazy HIGHS following large amounts of overindulgent candy binging!! 

But let's Face the Facts....

Halloween = Candy + Excitement = Sugar High for sure!

BUT the TRICK was on ME!  Ally was LOW.  Low.  low.  ALL.NIGHT.LONG!  What I had not expected was that Ally's soccer team would end their season in the top of their league.  They advanced to a tournament, which was played this Halloween weekend.  After playing two soccer games and trick-or-treating fun on Saturday, it didn't matter how much candy Ally consumed.  I didn't even bolus for it!  Keith and I tag-teamed and checked her every other hour....she was low every single time.  Juice after juice (because this is the easiest way for us to treat the nighttime lows - Ally can drink a whole juice box in her sleep without waking up) we kept getting a low reading.  Finally we decided to add a pudding to the mix and that seemed to sustain her until morning. 

So, with so many ideas and lots of thought, our Halloween with the big D didn't turn out at all as we'd planned.  Wonder what we'll try next year!

Bare Naked Pancreas

My humorous friend Reyna, from BetaBuddies, started the whole gettin' "Naked with your Pancreas" thing!  So here I go...Bare-ing it all for you!  (No, not THAT!  Ally's pump settings...)

1. What kind of insulin management mode do you use?
Ally pumps insulin 24/7 using the Purple Medtronic MiniMed Revel.

2. How often do you inject/change pump sites?
We change Ally's pump site every 3rd day.  We recently switched to the new Mio infusion sets and really like them.

3. What type (s) of insulin do you use?
Novolog.

4. What are your basal settings?
Wow, Reyna needs to teach me how to do that!  She has 7 different basal settings for Joe....impressive pancreatic work my friend!!

Ally, on the other hand, only has 2 different basal settings.  (I still have so much to learn and this is an area where I really get nervous...so the endo always helps me set these numbers.)

12AM: 0.35 units/h
8 PM: 0.40 units/h


5. What are your correction factors ?

12am - 6am it is 1:230
6am - 12am it is 1: 140

6. What are your meal ratios?
I have heard others say this too...Ally is more insulin resistant with breakfast than the rest of the day.

Breakfast 1:20
Rest of the Day 1:25

7. What do you do for activity and/or PE?
At this point, we do not make any changes for PE at school.  It's hard because one day may be a very light activity and another day very strenuous.  Ally keeps her insulin pump on for PE and so far it does not seem to bother her...wearing her Tummietote by Tallygear, of course!  She also goes to the clinic and checks her BG and has snack shortly before PE, so I know that she is not going into the acitivity low.  She also checks her BG at the end of the day (which is right after PE) before getting on the bus, so again I feel comfortable that she is not low after this activity.

Ally is also a swimmer and a soccer player (and is going to try basketball this winter).  We take her insulin pump off for all of these sports.  This is another area where I feel like I don't have it all figured out yet.  (Ok, let's be honest...there isn't really much about diabetes that I can say, "Yep, got that figured out!")  What works for Ally seems totally different from what I hear other people do for activity.  See, Ally tends to run high after exercise.  Immediately after anyway.  HOURS later she drops.  I mean like 12 hours later!  So, sometimes I pre-bolus for her basal before these activities...and sometimes (even though I KNOW she won't go low during exercise -she never does!) I still worry about her going low, so I don't pre-bolus for the basal and just correct the high after.  Some other "naked truths" in this area have given me the idea that possibly I should set a temp basal a few hours AFTER her exercise.  Although, I'm still trying to figure out the timing of that since it is usually so many hours after.

8. How do you manage Pizza, Macaroni and Cheese, or any other "difficult to manage" foods?
Oh those wonderfully, awful foods!!  I'll take Halloween candy over those foods anytime.  Our MiniMed pump has a really cool "Dual Wave" feature...which I am learning to use.  Sounds like the "combo" that I hear some of you talk about.  You can do a % of bolus upfront and stretch the remaing % out over an amount of time that you choose.  It has taken a little bit of trial and error...and we still don't have it right!  I also think that what works or one child may not necessarily work for another, so even when I get ideas from other wonderful D-Mamas, I have to make changes to fit Ally's needs.

9. How do you prefer to manage your logs/data?
We download Ally's pump and CGM to the CareLink online program.  It is great!  I can look at all kinds of reports...and the best part, my endo staff can log on and see all my data if I need help making changes.  However, I do still keep a simple log because I only download every 2 weeks.  I need to see it on a daily basis to help me make decisions about activity and carbing or bolusing!

Ok, I took Reyna's challenge and exposed myself "as a naked pancreas" to the whole D-OC.

Who else wants to play?

D Takes a Back Seat

For possibly the first time EVER (well, since 2.10.09 anyway), Diabetes took a back seat last night.

Lexi has had strep throat, but has been on an antibiotic for 3 days and I thought she was getting better. 

Ally's soccer team made the tournament, so they had an extra practice scheduled last night. 

We were rushing around in our usual..."get off the bus at 4, check BG, hurry up and do homework, eat dinner, put soccer clothes on and get to practice by 6" mode.  Lexi was really cranky, I felt her and thought boy she feels really warm.  Fever is 103*!!!  How did that happen?  She had seemed fine all day.

In the midst of this chaos, Jessi somehow fell and landed on her arm.  She is a tough cookie, who takes plenty of spills.  So, when she was complaining that it really hurt and her arm was just hanging there, I figured we'd better go have it checked out.

You see where this is going?  My younger 2 girls, the non-D ones, were on the forefront of my mind...which is completely out of the ordinary.  Ally is usually my first thought, at all times.

So, Keith and I traded off at the soccer field.  He had taken Ally to practice.  I arrived, traded him for Jessi, and stayed at the soccer field with Ally (and a cranky Lexi in tow) for the second half of her practice.  He left for Urgent Care.  I was worrying about Lexi's fever and trying to get her to drink something...anything!  And I was worried about Jessi...she's usually so tough, but was really hurting :(

Soccer practice ended, Ally came off the field.  First thing I always say is, "Let's get your pump back on." (We take it off for soccer.)  I realized that Keith had brought her to practice and left in a hurry with Jessi.  "Where is your diabetes bag?" (Which holds all the usual - blood glucose meter, juice, etc etc...oh yeah, and right now HER INSULIN PUMP!) 



She says "Daddy has it."  I panic....WHAT?!!?  Now, it's bad enough when we forget her diabetes bag and are temporarily without her meter or fast acting carb, but her pump...that thing that keeps her alive????  We jumped in the car and I started calling Keith's cell phone and texting him.  No answer.  I decided to guess which Urgent Care he had taken Jessi to and drive there to retrieve the goods.  As I pulled out of the park, my phone started ringing.  "Keith!  You have her pump!"  He told me to calm down (that's a usual comment that he makes to me :)  Then he said that the diabetes bag was sitting on the bleachers at the soccer field.  Oh my goodness!  We turned around and made our way back to the field.  And yes, almost in the dark, we were able to retrieve the pump.  (I decided not to lecture him about leaving a $6000 life-saving bag unattended on the bleachers!)  All ended well.

**(Ok, I'm updating this since I forgot to tell you what happened with Jessi's arm.  Jessi has had Nursemaid Elbow before, and they say that once it happens it can happen again more easily.  Basically it's when your elbow pops out of place...not fun and very painful!  The doctor popped it back into place and did xrays to make sure there were no fractures.  After a little motrin and a really big brownie she is doing just fine.  As a side note...if you read about Nursemaid Elbow, it implies that this is caused by a parent yanking on a child's arm.  Both times we have taken her in for this they make you feel like a big loser!  But the reality is that she fell BOTH times that this happened!)

Jessi assures me that she will be able to hold her trick or treat pumpkin with no problem!

And on another note....I am so proud of my friend Hallie for taking the Driver's Seat and advocating for Type 1 Awareness last night.  To read about her speaking engagement at the Lion's Club, visit The Princess and The Pump!  Her words are very moving.

In Your Honor



For Eilish
This virtual candle is lit in your honor.



I have been staring at my computer for hours...not even sure that I have the words in me to express my deep sympathy to the family of a sweet 13 year old girl, Eilish, who was taken from them all too soon.  Eilish had Type 1 Diabetes.  She passed away in the night.  She is not the first sweet child with Type 1 Diabetes to go to sleep and never awake in the morning.  No one really has a good explanation for why this happens.  (To read about "Dead in Bed Syndrome" click HERE.)

I did not know Eilish or her family personally.  Although, Type 1 Diabetes is personal for me...And maybe that is why I am so heartbroken for this family.

This is why we don't sleep through the night EVER!  This is why we Walk for a Cure.  This is why I get so frustrated when people say things like "...at least her diabetes is controlled."  Type 1 Diabetes is not "controlled."  I loved the way that Reyna at Beta Buddies put it.  It was exactly what I wanted to say, but in better words, so I asked her if it was ok to quote her.

"Type 1 diabetes is difficult, at best, to manage. It is not a beast to be "controlled". It can kill. The medication used to treat type 1 Diabetes is insulin. Insulin is a hormone. Insulin is deadly if too large of a dose is given. Insulin can cause seizures, coma, and even death. Insulin is the only treatment for type 1 diabetes. Without insulin, persons with type 1 diabetes would die. 

Diabetes affects EVERY organ system in a persons body. These people look totally "normal" from the outside, while this disease wreaks havoc on their vasculature and organs."

Yesterday, after I learned of this tragedy, I was kind of like a zombie walking around my house.  Was it because I'm tired?  Partly.  Because I'm in shock or denial?  Mostly.  Ally was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a year and eight months ago.  Sometimes I think that it is possible that I am still in shock.  When I hear about the death of another child because of T1 diabetes, it really shakes me up!  Could this be my reality?  Do I have to worry every day and night that this could happen to my precious little girl?  That I could not bear.  I am definitely in denial...and today I am shaken!

So, this morning, when Ally came back in for that second hug, I didn't say "Hurry up, you'll miss the bus!"  And when she hugged me and said, "I want to stay here and snuggle you all day," I almost caved and let her!

Hug all of your precious children a little bit tighter today....God Bless the family of Eilish.

Sweet Ally's Meme

Oooooh!  We love to play tag!  Heidi and Jack at D-Tales started this cute Kids With Diabetes MeMe.

Then they passed it on to Tracy and the Superhero from The Superhero and the Princess. They sent it on to Reyna and Joe from Beta Buddies who then bounced it on over to Kris and Bumble Bee from My Sugar Bugs.  They handed it off to Meri and her 3 Boys from Our Diabetic Life, who gave it to Lora and Justin from My Diabetic Child.  And they have tagged Me and my sweet Ally.

So let's see Ally's take on things...
(Please forgive my comments on her answers, I couldn't help myself.)

What is your name?
Ally...(Followed by lots of giggling.  Oh my, I bet she's high right now, maybe this isn't the best time to do this!)


How old are you?
7 going on 8...almost 8!  (Her birthday is not until April!)


When were you diagnosed with diabetes?
February 10, 2009  (I didn't know she knew this!)


Do you remember what happened when you were diagnosed or how you felt? 
In the morning, I was like...you thought I was being silly because you woke me up for school and you thought I was being silly and when we went downstairs I wouldn't even let you do my hair or anything I just layed down on the couch.  I felt sick and when we dropped Jessi off at school....Mrs. P (her kindergarten teacher) saw me and she said I hope you feel better..come back to school soon. I didn't feel like doing anything.  You took me to the doctor and they couldn't help so they said you have to go to the emergency room.  They pricked my finger and I was super HI...it seemed like I was low now that I know something about it.


Do finger pokes or shots [or site insertions/infusion set changes] hurt?
No.  Barely.  Sometimes.


What is a high number?
Really, kind of like, on me...when you prick my finger 250 is high, but for my CGM it only alarms for 350...for now.


What is a low number? 
Below 70.


What does low blood sugar feel like?  
Sometimes it feels kind of shaky, yeah shaky.  It kind of feels like when I was first diagnosed...not as sick though.  (That's interesting.)


What’s your favorite way to treat a low? 
(Big smile....)  Eat cheesy crackers.  (Ok, we've never used cheesy crackers to treat a low.) 
Juice mostly...glucose tabs.


How do you feel when your blood sugar level is high?
Hyper...hahaha.  (Yep, we are gonna check her BG as soon as we get finished with this!)



What’s the best thing about having diabetes? 
Meeting new friends....really nothing.


What’s the worst thing about having diabetes?
Everything...almost everything!  (Can you think of one thing?)  Ummm.....site changes and finger pricks.


Do you worry much about diabetes? 
I'm not scared of it, but I just don't like it.


If one of your friends were diagnosed with diabetes, what would you say to that friend?  
Well, I don't like it.  I don't think you'll like it either.


What’s your favorite food?  
Mac-n-cheese, but my favorite dessert is dirt cake.



What’s your favorite snack?  
Crackers.


What’s your favorite low-carb food? 
Cheese stick, salami & cream cheese.


Do you know what a blog is? 
It's like a ...a blog is like a website only its only when you list it in your favorites.



Do you know that I blog about diabetes?
Yes..everything is on your blog!


Do you care? 
No, not really.



Why do you think I blog about diabetes?  
To tell everybody to donate money to JDRF!  (Any other reasons?)  So they can learn things about diabetes.



What’s your biggest wish?  
That we can find a cure... and to be magic!


Who’s your best friend? 
I have a LOT of best friends, but Morgan is my best best friend.


What do you like about him/her/them? 
A lot of things...(Can you give me one thing?)  Um....let's see...she's nice.



What’s your favorite thing to do?  
Ride on the neighbor's UTV and play with my friends.


Do you have a hero? 
Mrs. C (Aww...that's her 1st grade teacher - from last year!)


What do you want to be when you grow up? 
If there is no cure, I'll be a scientist.  If there is, I'll probably be a teacher.


Who’s your favorite person in the whole wide world? 
Mrs. C (Again with the 1st grade teacher :)  She is pretty special!)


Are you afraid of anything? 
No.


Fill in the blank.  Ally is___________. There is no right or wrong answer.
Ally is...a kid with diabetes. And she likes red.  Or Ally is nice.


Ally wanted to tag Sweetpea "because she's so cute!" 

So, Hallie and Sweetpea, you're IT!

The Big Day for Team Ally

Today we walked in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.  It looked like rain, but it turned out to be a beautiful day!

We would like to thank all those of you who, in any way, shape or form, supported Team Ally this year. 

Sure, our goal is to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, WE WANT A CURE!  But the day is about so much more to us too.  "Walk Day" is a day for spreading awareness about diabetes, and in our case, especially Type 1 Diabetes.  I am going to work harder at educating others about Type 1 Diabetes.  It is something that I believe HAS to happen for so many reasons, and I can't just sit back and hope someone else gets the word out there!  So stay tuned for more on that....

"Walk Day" is also a day to show Ally how much she is loved...and boy did she feel loved today!  I could tell she had a really full heart, being surrounded by so many family members and friends.  She puts up with the "unfriendlies of diabetes" every.single.day.  This was a day to turn it around and focus on HOPE.



And yes, that is Ally with Sweetpea from The Princess and The Pump!



And guess what, the fountains turned on as we were walking along the river and a beautiful rainbow appeared!  Seemed like a symbol of Hope for sure!

So, again, thank you for supporting Team Ally...whether it was through a donation to JDRF in Ally's name, taking part in the walk with Ally, sending us words of encouragement or praying for a cure!  We appreciate it ALL so very much!

No Tricks, Just Treats!....The Perfect Time for a Sugar Bolus!

***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED***

Can you believe it is October already?  Where do the weeks go? 

Well, this IS the month of TRICKS and TREATS, right?

I know that D will do nothing short of provide the TRICKS for all of us this month....So I will provide the TREATS!!  Not one, not two, but THREE TREATS for one lucky reader!

That's right.  It's time for another Sugar Bolus! And I'm hosting...

(Not sure what a Sugar Bolus is? Visit Candy Hearts to learn more about it.)

I am always looking for ways of organizing all of the supplies that I carry for my daughter with Type 1 diabetes.  While browsing on ETSY one day, I came across these sweet Drink Stick Wallets at Brambleberry Cottage. 

 

Nanci has a loved one with Type 2 Diabetes.

She originally designed these wallets for him to carry his drink sticks to work.

Nanci at Brambleberry Cottage so generously sent my Sweet Allison one of her Drink Stick Wallets to try out. What a TREAT. But the TREATS are not just for me ...she sent a second Drink Stick Wallet for one lucky Life is Like a Box of Chocolates reader to enjoy as well! Thank you Nanci!



And Look!  It's filled with TREATS!





Still no TRICKS!  But now it's time for TREAT #2!

Another sweet Etsy shop that I found, PillowSewCute, has generously donated an Ouch Pouch for this Trick or Treat giveaway.  Thanks Karen! 

The Ouch Pouch® is an ORIGINAL Designer First Aid Pouch

with an easy-to-view clear front pocket that will neatly hold YOUR owie supplies!
Great for:

suitcase ♥ backpack ♥ purse ♥ car ♥ diaper bag ♥ desk
golf bag ♥ garage ♥ beach bag ♥ brief case ♥ stroller

The Ouch Pouch (don't you just love that name!) comes in several sizes.  I tried out the Medium (5x7) and the Small (4x5) Ouch Pouches.   They also come in Large (6x8) and a special Epi Pen pouch (4x8).

As I was saying, my diabetes bag is an organizational nightmare!  Don't believe me?  See for yourself!

When I saw these Ouch Pouches with the clear pocket, I thought they might help me to organize these diabetes supplies.  Plus, they are so cute!  Look at some of the ways that I tried them....

These are photos of the small Ouch Pouch, perfect for glucose tablets, candies, test strips,

syringes, insulin bottle, extra batteries, and more.

The medium Ouch Pouch is my favorite!  I can even fit a juice box in that sweet thing!  The best part, look how narrow and compact this pouch is with the Juicy Juice box, granola bar and Smarties all inside.

 I even tried the Epi Pen pouch for carrying the Glucagon.  The thing that I liked about this pouch is that it has a clip on it, so you could clip it to a purse or your belt loop.  (Karen, at PillowSewCute, changed out the "Epi Pen" label for me since I was going to use it for a different purpose.  Thanks, Karen!)

 And now you are wondering where the TREAT for you comes in, aren't you?  Well, here it is....PillowSewCute has donated this Ouch Pouch for the lucky winner!

  

This medium Ouch Pouch in Zoo Blue fabric can be yours!

You want to see how my diabetes bag is looking these days, don't you?

 Ahhh!  Organization! 

But wait...What is TREAT #3 you say?  Why the bag of course!  I use this thermal tote from Thirty-One for our diabetes bag.  A fellow D Mama is hosting a Thirty-One party in which 100% of the profit will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).  Pretty cool, huh?

As part of this awesome giveaway, you can win a small thermal tote from Thirty-One in the pattern of your choice. (**If winner doesn't respond within 48 hours, I will choose the pattern.**)

So, if you are feeling lucky, head over to the Thirty-One JDRF Fundraiser hosted by Kelly Harp and start browsing your favorite pattern.
