Lows..

Faith tends to run very low at night, I have to give her a protein snack each night to ensure her glucose stays over 100.  She needs to be at least 100 at bedtime.  She has been waking up in the 60's and it scares the crap out of me. Initially, we were told to check her every night at 1am, to set an alarm and check her.  Her doctor is a type 1 diabetic, at her last appointment he said we no longer need to do the 1am checks.  I just cannot do this!! I have to check her. I do not know when I will ever be able to sleep well again.  I am so scared of her bottoming out in the middle of the night. 

She was low again tonight before bed. I hate this for her.  I hate having to poke her little fingers so many times throughout the day. The protein seems to help with fighting low glucose levels.  Currently, her pancreas is functioning at about 3%. They say we are in the honeymoon phase. Within 6 months, her pancreas will stop functioning altogether. So, just when we think we have her leveled out, her numbers will begin to jump again after the honeymoon phase.  It sucks, just as I am learning and getting comfortable things will be constantly changing. 

I just pray each night that she will be fine once I finally lay my head down to sleep.
