Just saying hi and wishing everyone a good night.
I increased Charley to .75, will have to see how it goes. So jealous of the OTJ posts on the main board. Our new schedule w/ testing and insulin has caused some tension at home, but I'm sure you all can relate. Feeling discouraged tonight. We are just exhausted and in desperate need of something positive to happen.
 
:YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: We can appreciate two yellow preshots in a row. Not bad! Take a break and breathe, Mom. Charlie is not in dangerous numbers. Maybe this weekend you can get a nadir so you will feel good about raising a bit more?

Nothing will tell you this is easy. But it is doable.
 
Hang in there! My Ruby was only diagnosed about a month before Charley and we're still having trouble with everything. Her numbers are all over the map. I'm stressed to the max and can't sleep half the time because I'm afraid of what I'll wake up to find. I swear the tension gets worse at night for some reason! I've pretty much given up hopes that Ruby will get OTJ. I just want her regulated and healthy.

The good thing is that we found FDMB and the amazing people here. I don't know what kind of shape I'd be in without everyone holding my hand and patting me on the back everytime I lose it. (which seems pretty much like every night!)

So we'll get there eventually and in the meantime, we have the community here to help guide us thru it.
 
Charley's Mom,
We can all relate. It isn't easy...but it does get easier, I promise. This "place" that we all come to every day... It isn't just to share the good days and the good things. We all use each other to find a "boost" when we need one, we know that there are people who know exactly what "this" feels like and how hard it is to deal with every day. So lean on us when you need to. It'll be you one day soon lifting somebody up when they need a lift.
Hugs,
Carl
 
Believe me we all completely understand.

I read a quote today, I don't remember whose quote is was, I'll have to go look it up.

It said "Anxiety is Excitement without Breathing". So breath baby breath.
 
It gets better! Me and my sweet Kitty have been at this for a year now. At first, it was awful----DKA, UTIs, Pancreatitis, abscessed tooth, High Numbers, no movement on any dose.....it was truly nerve racking! I knew Kitty would never go OTJ, I just wanted to keep her safe and try to give her a good quality of life. I cried. I got angry. I was jealous of the OTJ and regulated kitties (but Happy for them at the same time!) But, I kept trying. And, finally it happened--- it took a lot of patience and experimenting. But, with the help of the people here, I finally found what worked for Kitty. And, You will too! Hang in there! I promise it does get better and it is so rewarding. My Kitty is 16.5 years old and well regulated! Charley will get there, be patient!
