Jilli's Endocrinologist Visit

Hi loved ones... Jilli had her Endo visit Monday., 8/11 The appt went very well. The Dr. was pleased with the stability of her overnight readings, even though the readings have been high, there are no big jumps, in either direction, overnight. He did increase the amount of 24 hour insulin she gets in the morning by 1/2 a unit as well as add some short acting insulin. This will hopefully bring down her lunchtime readings, which have a tendency to be high. I was really afraid he was going have us give her an injection at each meal, so I am very pleased by this, for Jilli's sake. The insulin added in the morning can be mixed in with her intermediate acting insulin. She has the 2 injections in the morning, still, along with the sliding scales throughout the day should her blood sugars go over 250(hopefully the addition of the insulin in the morning will prevent this). She is such a trooper through all this. Thank you all for your love and prayers!! We love you!!
