A day in our life

Our life is a lot different than it was 3 months ago.  Our routine has changed quite a bit. I figured since I hadn't posted in a bit I would let you know our routine.

8:00 am-Wake up (sometimes Ana is up before hand), first blood test of the day, diaper change then her Lantus (long term insulin) injection.

8:30-9:00am breakfast, followed by carb counting and then figuring out her dose of Humalog (short term insulin).  After we figure out how many units of Humalog she needs .5-2.5 units depending on carbs and if she needs a correction from her first test.

9:00-12:00 playtime/or movies.  Sometimes we have a snack which is usually Cape Cod Potato Chips brand sea salt popcorn (4 carbs a snack cup).  She enjoys having her "juice" which is really water with flavor enhancers (0 carbs)

12:00-1:00 blood test #2 and then lunch.  After lunch we again count carbs and administer Humalog depending on carbs eaten and if she needs a correction.

1:00-3:00 prepare for a nap (which lasts 1-2 hours).

After nap until 6:00 more playtime and or movies (usually Disney Jr.)  Again we may have an occasional snack and juice cup.

6:00 is 3rd blood check and dinner, same routine as lunch and breakfast.

7:30-8:30 get ready for bed, after 9:00 bedtime blood check.  if it's over 300 we have to give insulin, but then she is down for the night.  She loves having a nighttime cup which is unsweetened almond milk (0 carbs :) )

2am-blood check, no adjustments given.  Usually a diaper change if wet and another cup of unsweetened almond milk.

2am kills me, usually I'm in bed by 11p-12a so 2am comes really quick for me, then it's hard for me to go back to sleep.

But that's our day in a nutshell.  We are more structured than we were 3 months ago, but I guess it's what we need to do.
