Day 1 ~ Struggle (#NDAMphotoaday)

Yep, it's November and that means is Diabetes Awareness Month!  I knew I wanted to do 'something-a-day' but didn't know what that would be until I went scrolling through Facebook this evening and came across the photo-a-day list.

So, it will be a month of photos (and probably some words, too!) to help you catch a glimpse into our world with T1D.

This is Bean's lowest low BG to date.  I happened just a few days ago.  The reason this comes to mind when I think of 'struggle' is because it was an hours long ordeal to bring that number up and keep it up.  She had a big juice box...the 24g carb one, not the 15g carb one...which brought her up to 51; then an applesauce that brought her up to 72; then she ate dinner, without any insulin coverage, and that brought her up to 113.  She dipped back into the 80s, and it was well into the night before I considered this low 'treated' and over.
