I have decided to change the name of our blog from Insulin Princess to Voice of a D-Mom. Since this blog is mainly about my feelings about dealing with T1D as a parent and not Aly's feelings on being a T1D I have decided that this name switch will be good.
Onward and upward we go

Next Step in Care
Today we put the wheels in to motion for the next step of our diabetes management care. We finally have met our $2500 OOP for the fiscal year and so we called and ordered the Dexcom G4 Platinum system.
Aly just passed her 6 year diaversary and also logged her lowest A1C ever of 7.8 so the timing of us being able to purchase the CGM are coming at a great time in her diabetes management. This will hopefully be able to help up make the management of her Type 1 Diabetes even tighter.
We are so excited and we will have pictures to come in the next few days :)

JDRF Kansas City Family Connections Retreat
Today Aly and I attended the JDRF Kansas City Family Connections Retreat. This is the first time in the 6 years since diagnosis that we have attended this local event, and I just have to say that it was great, very informative, and some great topics to pick from.
When we got to the JDRF Kansas City Family Connections Retreat we were greeted by JDRF staff and volunteers at the registration table. Each family that attended (there were around 100 families in attendance) were given their welcome packet that included a synopsis of the retreat, a T1D networking BINGO card, and the speakers as well as the individual family schedule depending on their selection of presentations they chose to listen to.
Aly and I got right to work on the BINGO card and our networking skills. There were many diabetes related companies in attendance in the vendor fair some companies that were in attendance were JDRF, JDRF Advocacy, Hy-Vee, Kids With Courage, Medtronic, Animas, Omnipod, Accu-Chek, Sanofi Diabetes, Novo Nordisk, Trial Net, and Turning Point. We also socialized with other families that we have met previously and others that we were meeting for the first time. Aly really warmed up and starting talking to people.
The sessions that I chose to attend at this event were Artificial Pancreas Project - What's New, Nutrition - Go Deep!, and The Teen Brain. While I attended my selected breakout sessions Aly went to the Kids Zone and played with other children who also have T1D.
Artificial Pancreas Project - What's new?
The 1st session I attended the Artificial Pancreas Project - What's new? Presented by John Martin and Jed Rellihan, in this session we heard that the artificial pancreas is currently in the first generation, before the artificial pancreas will be released to the public for sale it must be in the third generation. The researchers and hoping to have the artificial pancreas on the market for sale in the next 10 years. We were blessed to hear from Jed Rellihan a 14yo T1D who has participated in the Artificial Pancreas Project trial, he did advise that the Dexcom sensor was proven to be the best US available CGM.
When the 1st session was complete it was time for some grub and more networking. During the lunch session the tables had breaking the ice type questions to get everyone acquainted with each other at your table. The table that we sat at was about sleepovers, PS .... We already knew everyone at our table :) ..., it was a great time talking to other moms about sleepovers and how to handle them.
Nutrition - Go Deep
The 2nd session that I attended was Nutrition - Go Deep! This session was presented by Nan Borchardt. During this session we learned about Complete and Incomplete proteins
Carbohydrates like to be first in line to your intestines and only take 15 minutes to convert to blood glucose.
Proteins take 2-3 hours to convert to blood glucose
Fats take 3-4 hours to covert to blood glucose.
When eating a meal using the 2/1 ratio carb to protein will help diminish the postprandial spike
This was a very interesting nutrition refresher course (for me personally this is the first time I was hearing and learning this technique)
The Teen Brain
The last and final breakout session that I attended today was The Teen Brain. During this session we had an open discussion about all things related to having a teenager and dealing with T1D. (As most of you know Aly is only 8 but I wanted to know what to look forward to in the future).
During this discussion we spoke from everything from puberty, to drinking and how it affects T1D, to dating, anxiety and depression, driving, hormones, and much much more.
The things that I took from this session were:

During this discussion we spoke from everything from puberty, to drinking and how it affects T1D, to dating, anxiety and depression, driving, hormones, and much much more.
The things that I took from this session were:
- Have your teen work with you in trying to identify the factors as to why their blood sugars are why they are the number that they are
- Growth hormones make teens become insulin resistant
- Androgen and estrogen can cause a teen to need more insulin
- Teens with type 1 diabetes having a rigger risk of depression and anxiety
- Teen girl with T1D may do insulin manipulation to try and lose weight. Please watch out for this
- Puberty typically ends at 16.
- Your teen will be okay and they will mess up. The best thing to do is have an open dialogue with your child so they can tell you and you can help them get back on track
- You can do the best you can but your child is still independent of you. They will make their own choices
- A lot of times with anxiety you will see behavioral issues in children and teens
- As parents we have type 3 diabetes we don't live with it but we deal with it daily

JDRF Reach and Teach U Omaha
This past weekend my best friend and I journeyed out to Omaha, NE for the JDRF Omaha Chapter Reach and Teach U event. If you are unaware of what this event is, it is a learning experience for families of children with T1D to go to some "classes" about specific issues that they may want to know more information on.
At this event they started with a opening speaker by the name of Joe is a healthcare professional who has lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 40 years, he was an amazing motivational speaker. He really hit home on a lot of points, like scheduling diabetes depression days every once in a while where you (if you have T1D) or your child (if they have T1D) can have a pity party and just feel bad for themselves that they have to deal with this crummy disease .... yes it probably "could be worse" but for them right now this is the worst, and my favorite thing from his opening speech was when he said to have some fun with diabetes and to run over a old blood sugar meter or smash it to pieces with a hammer. I liked this idea because diabetes is such a strenuous disease where you are "on deck" 24/7/365 and so every once in a while it is good to have a little fun and "stick it" to diabetes.You can watch one families take on this practice here on the Your Diabetes May Vary blog
For the 1st session that we attended was "Back to School Basics", this session focused on IEP, IDEA, and 504 plans. This session gave great resources for parents to use like the ADA State Laws that will help protect their child in the school setting.
The 2nd session that we attended was "Navigating Diabetes", this session briefly touched on transitioning your child from "family diabetes care" to "personal diabetes care" but focused mainly on the online resources that parents, teens, and children can use to get more knowledge or be able to speak with others dealing with the diagnosis of T1D. Some of the resources that were presented were
JDRF - JDRF is the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Driven by passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents, and adults with this disease, JDRF is now the largest charitable supporter of T1D research.

This list of resources is no where near all the resources that are out there on the internet but there were the ones that were supplied in this specific training class.
During the last portion of this event the Closing Speaker Tricia Jensen, RN, CDE, CPT spoke on Diabetes won't hold me back. Tricia is an RN in Nebraska who has lived with T1D since she was 1 year of age, a current Omnipod user, and an athlete. She has gone skydiving, participated in triathalons, the Warrior Run, and several other 5k runs. She never lets diabetes stop her from doing and achieving what ever she wants to do. She says it does take extra planning to be able to do most of these events but she is able to do them and has a blast.
In conclusion this was a very good informative event. I look forward to attending a few more of these event though out the year at different JDRF chapters.

That is my child....
6 years ago today my then 2 1/2 year old toddler was diagnosed with a life long autoimmune disease called Type 1 Diabetes. When Aly was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 6 years ago she was a VERY sick little girl. Se was lethargic, had lost weight, had a horrible yeast infection, threw up randomly, was peeing herself so bad that she would soak her clothes through her diaper. When my daughter was diagnosed I knew NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about diabetes the day before her diagnosis. We had taken her to the pediatrician 2 weeks before diagnosis and even with all of her *symptoms* they NEVER ONCE mentioned Type 1 Diabetes not checked her blood sugar!! My mother in law is the one that mentioned that she thought Aly had Type 1 Diabetes and so right then I was at work at researched it .... I then had that AH HA MOMENT!! THAT, THAT WAS MY CHILD!! I knew right then what she had ... I left work immediately, went and picked Aly up from my mother, and rushed her to the Children's Hospital ER. When we checked in they always ask why you are there and I told them " I think my daughter has Type 1 Diabetes, please do whatever you have to to check her for it." When they finally got Aly into the exam room (which seemed like FOREVER) they checked her sugar and all the meter told us was HI. When her labs came back her blood sugar at diagnosis was 682. Then we began our journey, our new life with a child who would always depend on injected insulin to stay alive.
6 years ago today was the day that would forever shape who my child would be in life, 6 years ago today my daughter lost some options in her life choices because she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, 6 years ago today my daughter became MY HERO!! Today 6 years ago I became the mother of a child who lived with Type 1 Diabetes ... I became a D Mom.
We DO NOT let Type 1 Diabetes define who Aly is but it is and always will be a part of her until a Cure is found.
In the 6 years since Alys diagnosis we have learned SO MUCH more than I ever really wanted to know about any disease out there, knowledge is power. Aly is a trooper and never complains nor asks "why me" she just accepts it as part of her and does not let it stand in her way of what she wants to accomplish. She is now at the age of 8 learning more about the disease that she lives with and is taking on more responsibility in the day to day schedule of blood sugar checks, counting carbs basics, knowing when she is high/low, and just the responsibility of remembering to bring her meter where ever she goes and not forgetting it.
My daughters pediatrician at the time missed ALL of the signs, so PLEASE DO NOT rely on your doctor to know ... If you ever have ANY suspicions please CHECK ... DON'T GUESS!! You could save your child's life or the life of another individual since Type 1 Diabetes can be diagnosed at ANY age.
Mommy loves you Aly and Happy Diaversary

Take a look at “Diabetes Community Education”!
I just finished watching WEGO Health’s new sponsored video series, Diabetes Community Education, and I thought some of you might be interested in checking it out as well.
The video, “Hypoglycemia: you and your blood sugar”, featuresHealth Activists Ashley and Cara (who I’m sure some of you are familiar with!) and Certified Diabetes Educator, Joy Pape. In the video Ashley, Cara and Joy describe their experiences with hypoglycemia, including the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar and the importance of proper management.
You can watch the videos by visiting:http://sharinghub.wegohealth.com/diabetes-community-education
WEGO Health is going to be donating $1,000 to the diabetescharity we vote for after 100 people have shared the videos, so be sure to pass the info along to your friends!
