You know I keep a Journal and usually write in it every single day but I see keeping calendars are almost as good.

It does get easier, with time, to distinguish between normal kid behaviour and crazy blood sugar behaviour. And as Riley gets older, he'll most likely be able to tell you when he feels low or high. What I used to do with Olivia was check her and if she was low (or high) ask her to tell me how she felt. Her highs she couldn't feel at all, but her lows would make her kind of dizzy and shakey and she was able to tell me that information and by telling me, get it into her brain that "Hey, when I feel like this, I should ask someone to check me." It took a long time, though, before she made that connection. <BR/><BR/>Good luck to you. I'm always glad to see another Parent of a CWD. Well, not GLAD, but you know what I mean. It's good to have this community for support and general venting.Major Bedheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669161302510096751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-1136142101935498192006-01-01T14:01:00.000-05:002006-01-01T14:01:00.000-05:00Hi Penny,Thanks for posting on my blog.We just cel...Hi Penny,<BR/>Thanks for posting on my blog.<BR/>We just celebrated 2yrs of Josh's DX, Time has really passed. I can completely agree with you about the whole cake situation. Yesterday was my nieces 1st B-Day, and my SIL has now asked me how big of a piece to give him and one with hardly any icing on it, and a very small scoop of ice cream. Valentine's Day and Halloween, I just cringe, I'm glad you did good this year, my first year Josh snuck his candy and it was 400+.<BR/>The one thing I've learned is to do the best job I can. We're getting out of the 3yr old stage of his behavior vs. a low attack, and for the most part you'll start to recognize the signs of a low/high because you know what is normal behavior for him. My son turns really pale and shaky, with deep set eyes. He's actually started to tell when he's going LOW and let us know (YEAH!). <BR/>Here's to a Great NEW YEAR for us all!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239088554458993993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-1136126322529784052006-01-01T09:38:00.000-05:002006-01-01T09:38:00.000-05:00Just wanted you to know I read it all.
