Do people really not know how serious T1D is? Nathanael went on a church retreat for the weekend. In anticipation, I talked to 3 different people asking them to watch over him & make sure he tested & took his insulin. He called today when they left to come home. He told me he was in the 400's a lot. I thought ok, he was running around a lot, that makes sense. Then he texted me 2 hours later & his BS is 511! He hadn't tested since breakfast at 8 & it was 3. He just guessed at lunch. When he got home, I cleaned out his pack & checked his tester. He only tested yesterday 5 times. But he was over 400 3 of the 5 times. He is so lucky to not have had any problems. I asked him if anyone checked on him & he said no. Unless he has more responsibility for his diabetes on his own, he will not be going on this trip next year. Where were the adults?
