Diaries of our Sweet Life!

This picture looks funny I know BUT This is literally 15 minutes before we found out Colton has Type 1 diabetes😳!! You can see it in his face he’s not well! We were told 2 weeks and we would have seen rapid weightloss of probably 15-20lbs!! When we were first told I cried! All I thought was how his life is now changed forever! Did I do this? He will never be the same! I was SO wrong! We were lucky we caught this so early! The pain & illness he suffered all that winter doesn’t happen anymore. No one “caused” his diabetes! At the time his blood glucose being so high, they say it’s like feeling hung over for a crazy night x10. Now I know why he never wanted to leave his room! Plus we are extremely lucky to be in a time where the medical advances give them more freedom day to day!! His glucose monitor eliminates 90% of his finger pricks. His insulin pump that should be arriving any minute which will automatically deliver insulin and check his glucose levels every 5 minutes!...

Check out Coltons reaction to his very first pump!! He has been waiting a while for this!! The Dab is epic!! 👉👉 Pump Surprise!! 👈👈

When’s it gonna hey better??”  If you didn’t guess, that is the nurses name LOL!!
