My nephew (janobonano)

How is he doing, Jan?

Thanks for asking, Lori. Last I heard, he's doing good. Hopefully within a few months he'll be able to get a pump that dispenses insulin rather than getting a shot. My sister will still have to test his blood, though. She is looking into an add-on sensor thingy for the pump that tests.

She looked into getting a diabetic alert dog for him but he is too young. The person with diabetes is expected to be the handler, and at two years old, he's just a bit too young for that.  Also the ADA only legally protects those with hypoglycemic unaware or brittle diabetes. So just having diabetes does not qualify you to have a service dog.

And what are you doing up at 3:16 am?! 

This is good to hear.  I am kinda surprised that they are considering a pump for him since he is so young.  My niece is 13 and just got one.  They have come a long way with the technology though.  Interesting info about the service dog.

Glad to hear everyone is doing OK.
