Brianna's Quarterly Checkup with Pediatric Endocronologist

Brianna had a so-so follow up with her Diabetic Doctor at Pittsburgh Childrens Hospital. Her overall blood sugar level has come down from 11 to 10.1, however, the good range is 7. We are going to need to be more strict with Brianna's eating. Sugar-free everything is a must. That is the most important rule that we are not going to be able to bend on. She has also been experienceing some low blood sugar levels that make her feel the need to pass out. Her Doctor has told us how we are going to attempt to avoid this by drinking some fruit juice and no snack. She has been eating a small snack which is not hitting her system quick enough in order for her to avoid feeling ill. With all the changes done to her insulin pump, recording keeping to figure out what foods Brianna will need to avoid eating, and additional testing of her blood levels; we are hoping that we will get a much better result on February 17 at her next appointment.
Love,
Carolyn
