So, sometimes when I am tired or when it's hectic...Lord especially when it's hectic...doing the math is difficult. The don't ever eat the same either so the carbs are different and then the ratio is different so the division is different. If it's in the morning and everyone is running around barking out whatever I need to know at the last minute...forget about it.

I was just having that conversation with my husband. How even when I'm sleeping I can't relax because I'm worrying about what Emma's blood sugar is doing... So glad you caught the mistake before anything happened.

That is what I experience when my hubby and I have our date night!<br />But it IS a gift - the gift to forget, and THANK GOD for family members / friends who are able to help enough to give us that gift. Glad you guys caught the pump situation when you did - another reason to be grateful for CGM, I guess =)<br />Happy Monday - hope the rest of your week goes well<br />XOXODonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795330580856695749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-66742393519080975092010-03-22T13:33:37.618-07:002010-03-22T13:33:37.618-07:00Meri, again I LOVE your post!

Being ON all the time is exhausting. I admire how you and your family handles it. It gives me hope and inspiration. We have had many dopus moments and know we will have many more. We have to be more forgiving to ourselves than D is. Thank you for your perspective and sense of humor. Switching brains would be great- Lately I would even settle for an off switch!

That's what my brain tells me again and again. It just cannot atom-split any more. How I would love to borrow someone's brain for a tad!<br /><br />You are lucky to have such a supper-sister-sitter (say that 3x real fast!) That gives some relief. <br /><br />Hope your week goes better than this. Slap some stickers on one of the pumps when they are not looking???
