Type 1 Diabetes and 504 Plan

August 13, 2016 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Does your child have a 504 Plan? I read everyday on Type 1 Diabetes Facebook Support Groups how parents do not have one in place and all the heartache and troubles that are caused by uneducated school staff. Many parents who do have a 504 Plan in place offer the best advice. Their advice is to have a 504 Plan in place BEFORE you have trouble with your child’s school whether it be a teacher, staff, or student.

Type 1 Diabetes Rescue Boxes for Back to School

August 10, 2016 By Thaleia 5 Comments

As many parents are getting ready for back to school Type 1 parents are filling Type 1 Diabetes Rescue Boxes of supplies for their child to be cared for at school. If you are a parent of a newly diagnosed T1D then you are probably still learning the ropes of this crazy thing called Type 1 Diabetes!

 

Type 1 Diabetes Rescue Boxes for Back to School

What is a Rescue Box?

Simply put a plastic container with a lid filled with basic Type 1 Diabetes supplies as well as specific items for the student’s pump and blood glucose meter. A “Low Box” is another name for it when you add items to help bring your children’s blood glucose levels into range.  Rescue Boxes hold items in case a child were to go low so anything from some juice boxes to fruit snacks to a glucagon pen.

6 to 1 Insulin Ratio, Puberty and Type 1 Diabetes

August 2, 2016 By Thaleia 2 Comments

6 to 1 for dinner. 6 to 1 for bedtime snack. It’s heart wrenching to hear this as a mom. If you aren’t familiar with Type 1 Diabetes it means nothing. If you do know anything about the battle of hormones, puberty, the teen years and Type 1 Diabetes you can mourn with me.
Now almost every carb consumed has a consequence. Every 6 carbs equals 1 unit of insulin. It now means even a bowl of popcorn has to be dosed for. It means 1/4 cup of corn needs 1 unit of insulin. It means that 1 cup of macaroni and cheese is now 7 units of insulin. It’s a little mind boggling and numbing at the same time.

Cutting Expenses Without Giving Up Your Cell Phone

October 21, 2015 By Thaleia 6 Comments

I woke up to a $ sign in the status bar of my cell phone. Guess what that means? My cellphone bill was processed overnight AND I was refunded for the data I didn’t use last month! My hubby and I have been with Republic Wireless for over two years and we love the lower bills while still having a smartphone!

Cutting Expenses Without Giving Up Your Cell PhoneDitch that pricey iPhone. You do not need it seriously. It’s a total waste of money to buy something that will HAVE to be replaced when the battery dies off.
