In production: 5.5: The Holy Grail of BGLs
http://linsinproduction.blogspot.com/2013/05/55-holy-grail-of-bgls.html
Thursday, May 9, 2013. 55: The Holy Grail of BGLs. Apparently in the world of D there is an ideal number that all diabetics want to see on their meter. This number is so sought after that there is an entire Facebook group dedicated to people posting photos of their meters displaying this number. The group is called The 5.5 or 99 Club, so called because 5.5 mmol/l (or 99 mg/dl if you're American) is that much desired number. Well, guess what? We got our first 5.5 today. Yes, here's proof:. The next test w...

A very good friend of mine from university has entered the Melbourne Ironman to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Anna's fundraising page is. Here is what she has to say:. There is a whole team from macquarie going to the barossa for a 160km ride for jdrf in january as well. I am extremely hopeful that M...

In production: A letter to my daughter
http://linsinproduction.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-letter-to-my-daughter.html
Wednesday, October 23, 2013. A letter to my daughter. Dear Miss Chief,. My darling, special, amazing little girl, today marks the end of your first year of living with Type 1 Diabetes. Congratulations. You have not only survived but remained happy and healthy, and together we have learned so much; about diabetes and food but mostly about ourselves and each other. Do you remember when we first came home from hospital with all our crazy equipment: meters, insulin vials, pens, logbooks? Lots of love from.

Wednesday, March 21, 2012. What to do in a hostage situation. Write a blog post. (It'll make sense later.). I'm in Happy One's room giving him his bedtime feed and thought why not put this time to good use and do a quick blog post. At the same time she is continuing to amaze us with her wit, comprehension, vocabulary, creativity and imagination. Her development in these areas, and more, just isn't slowing. I reckon I'd have trouble sleeping if I had all that going on in my head. Or get them both sleeping...

Monday, November 26, 2012. The Sugar Plum Fairy: How Diabetes Entered Our Lives. Well, as most of you will now know, those of you that Facebook chose to deliver the information to that is, the even keel I referred to in my last post did not last long. Just before Happy Shouty One was born,. Chief started acting up a bit; resisting naps, throwing tantrums, getting out of bed at night. All pretty normal stuff for a 2 year old. Understandably this continued with the adjustment of having a new baby b...A few...

Monday, May 27, 2013. Pumped about pumping 2: What, how and why? My last post talked about how we made the decision to get Miss Chief an insulin pump. Rather than multiple daily injections, and this week sees the end of a long wait - we get our pump on Thursday! But what exactly is a pump, how does it differ from injections and what's the big deal? What is an insulin pump? Ie just under the skin, and not intramuscularly and once the cannula is in you can barely feel it. The adhesive dressin. Having the p...

Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Last night we went out with the family to celebrate. As I was getting the kids ready to go I gave them a card to draw on. Miss Chief asked me what it was for. It's to congratulate Daddy. Remember how he was working really hard all the time in the garage? That's where he set up his study so he could lock the door and get away from the kids. Cost us a bloody fortune to heat that place in winter, I can tell you.] Well he did really well and got a distinction.". Buy cute diabetes ...

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. I'm a bit late with this post as I have been making curtains - yes! Really. I know, I'm stoked. Although they're not finished yet. But I had to pause just to say SHE DID IT! On Sunday 25th March my good friend of 18 years (crap! We're officially old) became an Ironman. And in the process she has managed to raise over $5000 for JDRF, which will be doubled to $10,000 by Macquarie Bank. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Support Anna and JDRF.
