TA-DUH

     Well I am happy to report that all went well with our halloween. The weather held out and there was no rain. It was chilly but not freezing. The kids were able to go out with their friends and everyone brought home their fair share of candy.
     On the diabetes home front, the day was a success as well. Our highest number was 9.8. That included parties at school, treats endless from about 3:00pm onward and skipping supper due to too much excitement. Way to go Chasey.
     On the heels of a very exciting and fun filled night, comes the month of November and with it brings a subject near and dear to our family. It's diabetes awareness month. That's right, a whole month dedicated to diabetes.
     I do find it a tad ironic that this event follows the night where kids go out and knock on strangers doors for candy, which is filled with sugar. I only find this ironic because it is the belief of many that diabetes can be 'caught' from consuming too much sugar, and this is not the cause with type 1.
     So in support of this awareness campaign I will blog regularly this month about our life, in which lives diabetes. Not all the post will be exciting or directly related to diabetes but it help those that don't live with it, a brief glimpse into our world.
     So here's my first sharing moment. Halloween, been there, done that and bought the shirt. All well keeping it under 10....TA-DUH!
