What blows my mind in this particular post is that your son only needs 1 unit per 20 carbs! I am a 29 yr. old woman (diagnosed at age 12) and I've always been told I even need more insulin than a typical diabetic...define typical. Anyway, I need 1 unit per 5-6 carbs and 1 unit will only drop me about 50 points. It's fascinating to read about other people's journeys with this disease.

I have an almost-11 year old who has been living with T1 since she was 2, and I often struggle to put into words WHY I'm hesitant to let friends help, to leave her and my other 5 with a babysitter, to leave her at gymnastics without me. This is it! This post explains it...I'm the only one that really knows. Add in the fact that she has asthma, severe food allergies, a rare autoimmune blood disorder and Celiac and there are days that I wonder if she'll ever leave my side! <br /><br />Thanks for being such a big inspiration to all of us D-Moms<br /><br />Libby, Mom to Ella age 10, dx at 31 months :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-63525070120450084292012-05-18T21:00:47.850-07:002012-05-18T21:00:47.850-07:00Fantastic information and very well put!

However, due to your information I am just a smidgen more compassionate, a little more caring and VERY much surprised at my idiocracy. I want this out there so I hope you don't mind if I share! Good luck to you and your family, they are all beautiful. Great job at managing as best as you can, keep up the good work and never give up!
