These are things that seem to give type 1 diabetes a pattern with a little rhyme & reason.
We use these trends as little mental cheat sheets to help us navigate through the up's & down's, twists & turns that is type 1 diabetes.
Cara's newest trend & one that I hope does not last is week-ends = ketones!
NOT A GOOD TREND and one that I will be trying to put a stop to A.S.A.P.
But there is just one very important question I have,
HOW IN THE HELL do ketones know when the weekend is here?

That's a stinky thing to have at any time, never mind the weekends. Is Cara on a pump? If so maybe you can tune the weekend basal rates. I'll bet she's more active during the week because of school friends, and maybe her reduced activities are causing some of the highs that lead to ketones. I do hope you can figure this one out.
BUMMER! I hope the trend ends before next w/e.
Hello Bernard,
No Cara is not pumping yet however we are very actively looking into it. Thank you for your comment!
Reyna, thanks I hope this trend stops too :)
Where's the dislike button?! I sure hope next weekend is better!
I agree with heidi, wheres the dislike button?! Sometimes I think ketones are a bit random. I cant see patterns - we get them even with low bgls. I do think in really small kids theres all sorts of bodily processes that stuff around with D. *not a dr, just a tired annoyed D-mum!*
