You might not understand what a site change means. You might not understand how draining diabetes can be. People tell me "I couldnt poke my child" I dont get a choice. I've seen my son in a coma. If I dont poke him he will be back in that coma in less than 48 hours. A pump means less pokes, even if your child is 2 and rips his sites out making you replace them a lot. I pulled all of this out and set it up and said "come here Finn" he shook his head no and refused to come to me. My son refused to come see me because he knew I was going to hurt him. Then I laid him down and started prepping the site. He bicycle kicked me trying to avoid the poke. Because even though he gets it a lot it hurts him. And then when I finally got his legs pinned and the poke happened he yelled at me and whimpered and tried to pull the site out so I had to pin his arms. And when it was said and done no hugs for mom because mom hurt him. I cant feel bad in the moment because I'm literally saving his life with a poke. But if I told you afterwards my heart wasnt broken I'd be lying. #diabetes is a bitch. If I could quit I would. #thisistype1 #type1diabetes #type1toddler @barbaradaviscenter @denverhealthmedical #t1d #t1dmom #toddlersofinstagram #parenting #specialneedsparenting #dexcomg5 @dexcom #medtronic670g @medtronicdiabetes https://www.instagram.com/p/Btugjc1B8Mi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1byovgwvg9o0t

Thank goodness for technology. I thought I was dreaming this morning about an alarm going off but I didn’t set one that I could remember. I didn’t eat last night after getting home. This is the result. Luckily Johnny called to wake me up. Being by yourself sometimes can be scary. I sleep really hard when I drop. By this arrow I was steady at 45. Pretty scary. #imblessed #thankful #typeonediabetes #glucose #dexcom #dexcomg5 #insulin #hubbyismyhero #myherowearsabadge #leowife

We've had an amazing couple of days. Here's to hoping it stays this way for the week. #thisistype1 #dexcomg5

Happy first day back to school. We dont allow the nurse to follow finns dexcom because of privacy reasons when hes at home and shes across the school. The teachers will hear alerts if he goes low but we always want to stop the low before it happens. Jeff just called her and told her that hes going double down. Typically that means he drops at least 100 points in 30 minutes. To prevent a low she is giving him a couple jelly beans to level him out a little bit. Diabetes is hard. It's the worst to be honest. We got this though. #thisistype1 #t1dtoddler #dexcomg5 https://www.instagram.com/p/B7CIttVlD1E/?igshid=6wzqhnmcgygw
