Camp Auntie Deb started last week.....

What a week!... I thought working at the afterschool program I do during the school year with 10-15 kids a day for 3 hours was tough......I am telling you taking care of a child with juvenile diabetes for full days is tiring...I dont know how mt neice, Tallia, Deals with this disease 24 hours a day.....never mind her mother who is her pit crew 24/7/365......I think I lost some weight this week....I have to better prepare myself for next week.....
This is my plan.....
have all juice and snacks available at my fingertips....my husband works at home...so we have a small refrigerator in our shop and another one next door at my mothers house.....i will go to the local fruit stand at the beginning of the week and have all green veggies cut and washed for that day.....all in seperate ziploc baggies...ready to go.....along with ranch dressing for dipping....:).... my other neice Kat is also going to be spending time here this summer, she is non-diabetic, but lets see if we can get her to eat as healthy as her counterpart cousin this summer....maybe we will all learn a healthy thing or two this summer from Tally.

Activity and Type 1 diabetes....!

I did not realize how quickly, literally, a person with type 1 diabetes numbers drop. My neice has been with me at work several days a week for the last several months. My elementary school students play hard. After about a half hour of hard play...She always "feels funny"....keep juice and snacks on hand ...don't get caught unawares.....its not worth the panic and an extreme low.

Live good,
deb

misplaced or lost test kit....

today my neice Tallia, was with me at my job, i teach an afterschool program with about 15 k-2 graders. so as you can imagine, things get pretty busy. She has the wireless tester that can communicate numbers and readings directly to her pump or to a software program to track her numbers. That is an expensive piece of equipment. We thought we lost or misplaced it.....I had forgotten I tucked it into an unused pocket on her backpack when there was a flurry of activity with all the little kids......we found it after a little sleuthing...but I decided right then and there that it would be wise to put our name and tekephone number inside in case we did actually lose it.So whoever found it could let us know..... That may be a good idea for everyone to think about.....or am I way behind on this one? I suppose you all thought of that one a long time ago?&^$##......:)
