Sun up ramblings

 It’s so hard for me to go back to sleep, from a CGM alarm. So I lay here and pray. Think about what today holds, how we got here. Today even though my teenager years are long past my rear view mirror, I’m reminded of how terrible it is to be a teenager. The emotions, the peer pressure, the stupidity. No matter what I got myself into my daddy was there. What an example of Christ love for us. Whether we get tangled up into something by someone else or a product of our own making, our Father is always there. Now knowing how it feels to have your child rip your heart from your chest, I can understand just how much he loved me then and how much easier it is to love me now. Now we can share things, learn things together. This is a place of maturity. I think God bring these things to my remembrance  not as a reminder of a failure but as a reminder of the lesson learned, the mercy given, and the sacrifice of love.

This year it seems though that he needs some carbs in the morning and insulin to fight those before lunch highs. Hopefully, this will help with focus and overall behavior. His chart still looks like a rollercoaster but we’ll just take, “one day at a time”.

However, Vitamin C will run those numbers up. I couldn’t figure out what had changed. I was going through all the scenarios. Maybe being sick had changed his chemistry somehow. If you know anything about diabetes there were a thousand possibilities. I believe this time though it narrows down to Vitamin C.
