The day after New Years, Kylie's insulin numbers went through the roof! I am talking in the 500's! We followed all the Dr's orders, gave her a shot of Humalog, but she was still high. About 30 minutes after her mega dose, she broke out in the hives. Did the normal Benedryl, Calamine and buzzed the Doctor.
Dr D says.. Laurie, I don't believe the hives are from the insulin... she might have something else going on. Long story short, we kept an eye on her and he called and checked in on her through out the day. No more hives... not sure what that was all about....
We are having high hopes that her pancreas has completely shut down. You have an eyebrow raised right now? Yes, we are hoping her pancreas shuts down. When you are diagnosed with Diabetes, your body goes through a stage they call the "HONEYMOON" stage. This is the stage where about 20% of your pancreas cells are functioning... oh, whenever and producing, whatever! It sure makes managing diabetes difficult!
We are going to take a little trip into Orlando for an appointment with the endocranologist and are praying that the pancreas has finally shut down.
This will be a huge milestone for us, and will ease a lot of stress!
