Honeymoon

Bryson has officially entered the Honeymoon Stage.. yep, you heard it..a 7 year old having a honeymoon. Basically what this means is that his pancreas has been working hard to make insulin for a long time now and then we found out it wasnt...so we start insulin by injection. This gives the pancreas a nice little vacation..and now it has started working again.

This has made Bryson ride the low rollercoaster. We have been hitting 50s, 60s, 70s since about Thursday..going low was becoming more and more frequent as the days have passed.  We spoke with Dr Artz and she decided we needed to up our carb ratio. We went from getting 1 unit of Humalog for every 20 carbs to getting 1 unit for every 25 carbs. Hopefully this will allow us to stay a bit "higher".

Tomorrow, Tuesday is 3 week out from diagnosis.
