With the first week of school under our belt, William is doing great with his blood glucose numbers at school. They have been between the 80-130 most of the time. There was one check where he was at 65 but overall his numbers have been great at school. Given how much they are going outside right now that is a good thing. I have been tweaking his numbers a little over night too and things are really starting to fall into place. I have had a week and a half of numbers in the 100's and only one 300 range number. What an amazing week.
The new teacher is falling into the schedule and William is being checked as required. We also have a new class room helper this year. The ladies at the front desk that took such great care of William last year are back again so no new training for them. His teacher has asked a few really good questions like does William need to go to the bathroom more than the other kids. That is a tough answer but most of the time the answer would be no. If his blood sugar is high he needs more water and his body tries to get rid of the extra sugar and possible ketones. So he might. Then there is the question when William acts out in class. Is that blood sugar related? That too is a possible yes and no answer. When William gets high, short temper is something that can happen. They usually check him and then give me a call.
It has been a great start to a new year from the school and diabetes realm. William is still excited but I think that will change this week when homework starts coming home. We will keep plugging away and he will continue to learn. I am glad to see him excited about school again.
School is strating right,
