Julia's numbers have been good, but she is taking 60% higher dose then pre illness still. I am hoping this doesn't mean the end of the honeymoon, but our dose has snuck up with each illness, and stayed soooo it probably is the end of that stage.
I find it sad that the honeymoon may be ending. I have had some hope that as long as Julia is making some of her own insulin, and has her own beta cells, that there may be something that can be done, something that might help. Of course knowing that even if there were a sudden breakthrough tomarrow, the ammount of time it would be held up in the FDA would be to long. So it was a small hope.

Christmas was great. Julia got to teach all of her dad's family about T1D. She really liked knowing more then some of the adults. It made her feel special.
We sang the diabetes version of 12 days of Christmas on Christmas eve, and it had Julia cracking up. She then told me that unless it was a cure she didn't want any D stuff in her stocking or under the tree. I didn't buy any anyways, but I sure did feel bad that she would think that the items from the song were going to be her presents.
We had 3 family events, and all went well. My biggest issue was how to cover juice, suckers, hot coca, and other rapidly digesting forms of strait sugar. If anyone knows the answer to this one please let me know. I was ready to throw all sugar out the window just on principal by the end of the 3 days of parties. However, we all survived, and fought b/g's the best we could. It was true combat, but I refused to let it get the best of us.

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas, and have an awesome newyear!
