You might not understand what a site change means. You might not understand how draining diabetes can be. People tell me "I couldnt poke my child" I dont get a choice. I've seen my son in a coma. If I dont poke him he will be back in that coma in less than 48 hours. A pump means less pokes, even if your child is 2 and rips his sites out making you replace them a lot. I pulled all of this out and set it up and said "come here Finn" he shook his head no and refused to come to me. My son refused to come see me because he knew I was going to hurt him. Then I laid him down and started prepping the site. He bicycle kicked me trying to avoid the poke. Because even though he gets it a lot it hurts him. And then when I finally got his legs pinned and the poke happened he yelled at me and whimpered and tried to pull the site out so I had to pin his arms. And when it was said and done no hugs for mom because mom hurt him. I cant feel bad in the moment because I'm literally saving his life with a poke. But if I told you afterwards my heart wasnt broken I'd be lying. #diabetes is a bitch. If I could quit I would. #thisistype1 #type1diabetes #type1toddler @barbaradaviscenter @denverhealthmedical #t1d #t1dmom #toddlersofinstagram #parenting #specialneedsparenting #dexcomg5 @dexcom #medtronic670g @medtronicdiabetes https://www.instagram.com/p/Btugjc1B8Mi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1byovgwvg9o0t

From coma to terrible twos. We've had a hell of a year but we survived. #type1toddler #thisistype1 #t1dlookslikeme #t1d https://www.instagram.com/p/BpBIHSolbLQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=387gflpfcohf

Photo 1 is the past two days (Finn hit 400 today for the first time after eating a muffin) photo two is the last week. Photo three are my goals. I hope this trip doesn't ruin our numbers. I'll reexamine on next Sunday. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #type1diabetes #t1dlookslikeme #t1d #type1warrior #type1toddler #t1dmomma #t1diabetes #t1diabetesawareness #t1diabetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CQn__JBp3Rp/?utm_medium=tumblr

My favorite patch he has. And it's so much easier putting it on now that he knows it doesnt hurt and he gets to pick the color. #thisistype1 #type1toddler #t1dlookslikeme https://www.instagram.com/p/B9DhjW9pkec/?igshid=v0ywk66vzoqg

Today we are rockin green. I will say putting these things on a toddler WHO WONT STAY STILL is like wrestling an oiled pig. #dexcomg5 #type1toddler #t1dlookslikeme #rockadex https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ByeiYFPjF/?igshid=fvi510fy8q5t

We are waiting for him to start coming up. He was 60 ⬇️⬇️ before we were alerted and as it beeped he got up from where he was laying and couldnt walk straights and was very out of it. I immediately treated with 15 carbs. We always treat lows with about 5 carbs but because it was so intense I am sure I over treated. I then laid him on the couch while it started to bring him up to watch him. (That's the second picture). He has fallen asleep now, in the 15 minute waiting period. Everytime his hands start to twitch and I'm sure it's a low seizure coming on. The panic in my chest is overwhelming. Hes at 43➡️ now. Which means hes come up a little and I'm sure his next one will show clearer progress. Lows are terrifying. I feel like lows are bad guys trying to take your child when you dont look. But I cant help remembering that 2 years ago he was starting to get sick. I've gotten two years of stolen time. #thisistype1 #t1dtoddler #t1dlookslikeme #type1diabetes #type1toddler https://www.instagram.com/p/B3la_2apjhQ/?igshid=1k0l4xmyfg979

How often does frustration come directly from the numbers on our blood glucose meters or sensors? Numbers can be very powerful. Can ruin our day and change our mood in seconds (even if we are alone in a bathroom pricking our fingers), their also a live saver! Even so, sometimes it can feel like numbers are judging us. Like grades, where the number just doesn´t take into account all our efforts. Numbers are static and abstract. So, let's try to remember that it is exactly what they are, just a number! Yes, we need them, they help us control and measure but they are not the whole story! Sometimes it´s good to stop and pause, think about how we relate to these numbers and make sure we´re doing it in a healthy way. Let's keep surfing those sugars 😊 #type1toddler #diabuddies#diabetescommunity#diabetesawareness#allmydiabetesstuff#livingwithdiabetes#diabetes#t1d#mysugr#everythingisok#deadpancreasgang#deadpancreas#diabetesstickers#beyondtype1#jdrf #diabetestyp1 #diabetesmemes #diabetesuk #cgmselfie https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tMGXUheqZ/?igshid=1c6m81rvgaiwm
