For day 37 I am choosing Jack, we went to see his
consultant and the diabetic team today for Jack's 3 monthly check up. At the
clinic up they weigh and measure Jack to ensure he is growing correctly,
discuss any concerns or issues he may have. And most importantly Jack has a
test called a HbA1c.
This test is able to check the glucose/sugar levels
of Jacks blood, and is able to understand his levels for the last 12 weeks, so
it is hugely important; if this is right we are on the right track for Jacks long-term
health.
Jacks readings today were 7.6 this is fantastic as
they have gone down slightly from last time. A non-diabetic person should be
between 4-7 so 7.6 is great for Jack.
I am so proud of him, from day 1 he has dealt with
diabetes in a positive manner, he takes responsibility of his situation and it
has not affected his lifestyle one little bit, yes it can be hard work some
days and a bit of a pain but he just takes it all in his stride. Well-done Jack,
great results, you have worked hard to achieve them.
This is fantastic news! It must be such a stress for you but I guess very important that you get older children to take the responsibility for themselves. Great news Jack! Thanks for linking up to #loundproud
