Emilia

​

Meet Emilia.  She was diagnosed at 6 months of age and spent a week in the ICU.  When her family finally made it to us she was almost 9 months old.  Her mom and dad were checking fingerstick glucose levels 12-14x daily, giving long acting insulin daily and rapid acting insulin only for glucose levels over 350.  They were 10/10 frustrated and felt like there had to be a better way to manage their daughter, spend their days less frustrated and get some sleep at night.

​

We sorted through their frustrations, came up with a game plan and put a pump and CGM on her during the very first visit.  She took it like a champ!  Now two years old, she's busier, more opinionated and very much settling into toddler life.  Diabetes still gets frustrating.  Her amazing mom and dad still have moments where they need more help than others.  The difference now is that they have a team surrounding them.  Occasionally, we even remotely look at her data so that adjustments can be made from the comfort of their home.
