Primary Children's Photos of Charger

Here are some pic's of our Charger (Beans) when he was life-flighted to Primary Children's Hospital and diagnosed with Type 1 (Juvenile onset) Diabetes. His glucose level was 1,243 (Range should be 100-200). He lost 8 pounds in a week, was very lathargic. He probably slept about 98% of the day. He constantly had a drink with him, and urinated soooo much, and was not hungry. He was treated for RSV, had chest x-rays, was unnecesarily doing breathing treatments twice a day. Watch for those things in your own kids. All it takes is a blood test.
Now, he is healthy. He loves to eat! I check his sugar about 10 times a day. He gets about 5-6 shots of insulin a day. We are still trying to figure it out but he is doing wonderful! We are so happy that he is still here with us and that his disease is manageable! What a blessing. There are much worse things out there that could happen than Diabetes!!! ; )
