Road to a CGM and Insulin Pump

Today we had Tate's appointment at Children's.  His A1C went up to 9 (should be 7.5).  We have had a much more difficult time controlling his levels over the past 2 months.  They said that is ok, though, especially with a 2 year old.  We have decided to move forward with getting him a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor).  This is a device that he wears 24/7 that monitors his sugar levels.  It will alert us when he is going low or high and how quickly he is dropping or rising.  We are really excited to get this, especially since he is unable to tell us how he is feeling.  We will also be moving forward with getting him an insulin pump.  This will take longer to get than the CGM, though.  Hopefully sometime this summer we will get a pump for him.  Hopefully the pump will help us keep his sugar levels more in his range.
