The years seem to be getting faster, Honestly can't believe how fast this one has gone by.
Children And Family
One thing with family is how much things continue to change, we all grow and develop and it's never more apparent than when you have children of a certain age. All three of mine seem to be growing up so fast at the moment, and I'm very aware it's a very cliché thing to say!
I shouldn't jinx things, but we seem to have found a bit of a groove with the diabetes this year. Our eldest agreed to try a pump, this is on what they call a "closed loop system". This has some AI built into it and learns how her body deals with sugar it is given and how to give her the insulin through the day. We still have to carb count, work out her bolus for meals (with ratios that change quite frequently), and we often have to do correction doses at night, but it has meant no more multiple injections. Before the summer, some days she was having 8 injections of insulin a day, I'd frequently get up in the night to give her some insulin and she'd fall asleep mid injection she'd be so tired from it!
