...And this is one tired Momma! Getting up twice a night to check Ellee's blood sugar is taking a toll on me!
I never would have guessed that it would be this frustrating to pin down patterns to get her dosing rate set! Her numbers have very few patterns and it seems like they are one extreme or the other. It's making it hard to say that this rate needs to go up or that one needs to come down. One positive, is that the lady from the doctors office who has been calling me to go over her logs has been great to work with! She calls with certain changes in mind, but she is great about talking out my concerns with her and we usually come up with an altered plan of attack together!
I am starting to see a pattern in the night numbers, so I have a few more adjustments to make and try this weekend. I'm hoping that we can gain a little more insight when we meet with the Nurse Practioner on Monday!
While I am not a fan of the night checks, I am still not regretting this decision to start on the pump! It is more convenient and in the long run the control over her blood sugar will be better! When Josh and I talked about a Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor a few months ago, we shot down the idea. I'm really starting to rethink that idea and will discuss it with the NP on Monday! I don't like the idea of sticking her with a second thing, but on the other hand, her little fingers need a break from the constant testing.
