Change Up

Since Sept 22,2012, Kyli has been on a daily dosage of Lantus.  What started at 1 unit, dwindled down to .5 unit, and the down to .25unit...Well, she kept bottoming out at night, meaning that her range is 80-200 for her sugars, she was in the 60's and 70's.  For her that is low and potentially dangerous.  So, on Thursday they said take her off of it completely.  Luckily for us, Kyli's pancreas is still working some...So she went the weekend shot free.  We figure we will enjoy it as much as we can, while we still can.

Today, I called Kyli's doctor and she said that we are going to try a small dose of Humalog when she eats 30 grams or more of carbs per meal.  While this is a little more intense because it is with meals.  I think it will help A LOT with her sugar lows.  It is going to be harder on us and the Great Grandma's, but we all just want Kyli happy and healthy, so we will do whatever we have to. I just want Kyli to feel good and stop having lows.  They are awful and she shakes so bad.  We are looking forward to finding Kyli's happy numbers and sticking with them.  It just takes some practice and we need it.
