Making Apple Pie :)

I made an apple pie this evening.

The apple pie with the bottom crust and filling.

The pie with the top crust added and air vents :)

I tore the dough while removing it from the roller to place on the pie!! It makes it kind of ugly....

~I was in a hurry...lol~

Ready to be baked.

 

Fresh from the oven.

            Still warm and ready to served with ice cream...

Quarterly Diabetes Clinic Appointment

 Yesterday Isaac had his quarterly diabetes clinic appt.
Waiting to be called back.....

 Finger stick for AIC...Which was a 6.6  :)  :) 

We played I-spy in between visits from the lab.,diabetes nurse educator, nutritionist, CPNP and getting our papers/next. appt./etc..

Of course we had our celebratory ice cream on the long ride home!
I am so proud of you Isaac. As always you are my hero. I love you.

Thank you Lord for helping us and always being by our side!

Bad insulin

The first twelve hours on Isaac's Dexcom 7 CGM-(We usually don't see numbers like that)-Thank God. Thinking it must have been the insulin-it was the last in the vial. The last twelve hours are with the newly opened vial of insulin...Much better :)
Thankful that we have only had insulin go bad early twice.

First time happenings with the Omnipod

                                          Can you see it?

 Can you see it now?

 

                              How about now-LOW insulin!

Today was the first time since Isaac started using the Omnipod that we changed his pod before we absolutely had to because of a low reservoir-(you have a window of eight hours after the pod expires to change it-we usually change it within an hour of that time.) Today we changed it about 3.5 hours after it expired. (It may have lasted a few more hours)We have the pod set to alarm when there is 10 units left. We had much less than that left we when changed it. I usually fill the pod with the least amount of insulin needed to prime it-apx. 85 units.... He has been on the pod for 14 months.

Times-they are changing.
It seems not so long ago that he was hardly taking a total of 4 units in an entire day. I know as he grows it will continue to be more-especially throughout puberty/growth spurts.

Thank you Lord for insulin  :)

Canning

Some of the canning that I have been doing-ready to be put onto shelves :) Thank you Lord for your blessings..
