After the test, we bid farewell to our hosts, and now to wait for the lab results. Which is no more than a confirmation that the boy is diagnosed with diabetes, and that he has some reasonably normal values of his blood components.
A bit of info here, we are now at 14 units for the day and 4 units for the night of NPH insulin for basal, and few corrections during the day (4-5 units of fast acting perhaps at lunch and dinner). These have been the values we've been having for the last weeks. We are being very careful with the diet, trying to give him little flours, zero sugar, and the rest a decent balance of veggies, meat, whole grains, dairy products and so on. This to avoid an array of shots during the day, and minimize his discomfort for needles. We all follow the same diet (except his sister), and I shall say is not bad at all. As a matter of fact I've managed to even put some weight down myself.
By the way, I came to know this week that his latest A1C was 8.5 (down from 12.5 three months ago).
