Shandra , look just tell you that you don't despair, I know it's easy to say it but I want you to know that in my case I have psado very bad moments.
Regarding the insulin bomb, tell you that the principles are difficult, why?Well, it is very difficultBike, today under the street and spend the day sitting, today comes a tantrum of me day that for glycemia did up, today I sleep my nap and tomorrow not, not to mention the happy moccos, colds, otitis..... Let's go what a child's life is at these ages.All this makes it more difficult to find the basal sections, but I can assure you that it is not impossible.
My girl was put on the bomb with 20 little tables, we had to adapt to the pump and especially understand when, as and why you have to go up and down the basal and not the bolus and vice versa, lose the fear of modifying basal and Bolus,get the most out of the pump.This is not achieved in a month, the glycemia do not change for the best of the night a day, but I can assure you that for me and I think that for many moms and parents who have a son with diabetes 1 like us, for now it is the besttreatment.
I tell you so that you have one day that my girl has come to carry, 13 basal sections, nowadays it carries 8 sections (when they grow and their activity is changing the TB sections are reduced), including a stretch in the morning (at school) of 0.00 units at the time for a period of 2 hours, that is, nothing insulin enters that section, nothing more than the m/m bolus.
The doctors and educators in diabetes help you a lot, but in the end, the ones that will best know the insulin needs at every moment of the day will be you, the parents, it will be like doing a menster, without paying a little money.I know that it will seem impossible today but I am sure you will get it little by little.
You may have to delay some food to see if the basal maintains glycemia, controls every hour, in the nap, if they normally carry a higher basal, in the morning or in the afternoon if it has more activity and moves morea smaller basal.
Anyway, I just wanted to send you a message of tranquility, maybe I do not have a rebel diabetes, simply that it is difficult to find the guidelines because it is very tiny.
You really will find them, it will cost them but I will achieve it I have no doubt.
A very big kiss, especially for your little Hugo.
