I have been sitting here in "honeymoon land" with my reality check around the corner just waiting to smack me!
What does that mean?? Well, I have mentioned before that Justin is still in the honeymoon stage~ right? So I have been reading all of these blogs talking about 4 or 5 shots a day and how fellow D moms are setting alarms for every couple hours to check bg's at night. For months, I have been thinking... wow~ I am glad I don't have to get up in the middle of the night... And 5 SHOTS?? Holy insulin batman!
Besides the numbers during school, I would say I have had it easy. I couldn't even complain about our measly 2 shots a day. NOW... I think our time is coming. For the past few weeks, I have found myself setting the alarm for a night time check and one of the questions on my Endo list will be "shall we add in a lunch time dose?
I hate to do that to Justin, but I don't know what else to do. The problem is the time he eats lunch at school. They are literally the LAST class to go to lunch... by this time he's about 6 1/2 hours into his Humulin. I don't give him a ton of food for lunch, but he has to eat.
What sucks is that we have to feed him a half a sandwich between 8 and 8:30 and then a snack around 10:30 or he drops into the 40's(one time 39). He usually has great numbers right before lunch (under 100), but after... upper 300's for several hours after.
I guess it will straighten out soon... ~right?

Hopefully it will and I want to say yes but we just cant say yes cause we really dont know do we ? I hope it does .
Yup! You will figure it out! And it will be ok. You will both adjust quickly...I know change is always so hard, but it's hardly ever worth the worry we afford it.
Good luck!!
It will all work out. We are in the honeymoon also and do 4 shots a day. They say his numbers will go crazy..along with puberty, oh my. We do check at night, you get used to it...Unless my thoughts keep me up all night.
I agree with Meri, we do spend too much time worrying, often for no reason. I am so guilty of this. You are strong and a great mama! HUG
The best thing you are doing for him is to just keep watching the changes. Make adjustments when they come, but don't fret when they do.
You are doing a great job! Hang in there!
The numbers WILL balance out. (Emphasis for myself, because this is what I say to myself at least twice a day.)
