Oh yes, I forgot to mention this facebook find. A new Diabetic Bear to give to newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic kiddos! Donal got his Rufus the Diabetic Bear when we were at the hospital for his week long diagnosis stay.
(Rufus in all his cuteness)
We love Rufus, we'll always have Rufus. But this new high-faluten' Gerry the Diabetic Bear comes with all sorts of bells & whistles.
Where Rufus 'just' had patches to show where we could give site rotation shots, Gerry has actual Blood Glucose readings to stay on-top of! He has carbs to eat and account for! Dude, he talks. What 18month old baby boy wouldn't want a diabetic talking bear to latch on to? It's pretty spiffy.
Can't you just see this (overly bright picture) kid needing his own talking diabetic bear? Thankfully we're not at the 'Newly Diagnosed Not Quite Two' stage anymore, but look at that cute face. A talking bear who was going through the same struggles as he was would'a been awesome.
