I\u2019m waiting on my school district to decide if Dulce can come to school with me as a diabetes alert dog. <\/p>\n
I talked with my counselor about it last night, and have made some decisions on her help. I am going to continue working with her, training her, and using her even if they don\u2019t let me use her at school.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the deal. Since I started working with her, my A1C is better. My over all blood sugar is better. My fasting blood sugar is better. Under 140 today, before Dulce it was lucky to be under 180. <\/p>\n
I know for the past two school years, my blood sugar control has sucked, even though I have started out each day wanting good control. It\u2019s not that I have said \u2013 screw this. Though I admit there are some days I didn\u2019t test at all as it was too much freaking trouble. But I didn\u2019t wake up saying, I\u2019m not going to control my diabetes today. It was usually \u2013 well, I missed this test, I\u2019ll catch up later today and later never happened.<\/p>\n
By the way, dealing with medical professions can be exhausting. Especially the ones that don\u2019t have a clue about diabetes. She had no idea that lows come with control and that you can\u2019t prevent them. Just like you really can\u2019t prevent the odd highs. Of course, I had to explain that during the meeting with the school committee but it\u2019s less frustrating talking with lay people as you know they don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
