As a D-Mom, there is nothing better than being told you're doing a good job!
The truth isn't always in the numbers, I mean you can have a descent A1C, but that doesn't tell you how much time or effort you put into managing this complicated, ever changing disease.
Today we attended our clinic day at the provincial children's hospital. We saw a medical student, the Endo, a CDE and a dietician. They all had the same message......
Keep up the Good Work!
Amy is growing normally in both weight and height, her numbers are good, we have a minor basal adjustment to make to help with the breakfast spike, her eating and diet choices are good as well as physical activity. They were pleased with everything, gave us a pat on the back and said see you in February.
I must say, although the A1C isn't a report card, I'm anxious to see how much the pump has made a difference. Although we started in February, we haven't had an A1C done except the one a few weeks later.
We head back home tomorrow after being in the city since Saturday. We travelled early to attend the JDRF halloween party. Amy had a great time, and it was nice to finally be able to attend an event. I hope we are able to attend more in the future.

Who are you Fighting For?
Today, there are more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes. With more than 20 people being newly diagnosed with the disease every hour of every day, chances are that diabetes affects you or someone you know (CDA 2013).
As part of their awareness campaign for Diabetes Awareness Month, the Canadian Diabetes Association is running the "who are you fighting for" contest. You can share your story and/or fundraise. We've opted to just share our story because the majority of our fundraising activities are directed towards JDRF.
