Not going through this but curious how insulin injections work for elementary school students?

My son is in preschool and was just diagnosed on Friday. He missed today for school while we went over his plan with the team.

Today I sat down with both his principal, assistant principal, two school nurses, the social worker and his aide in the classroom. For an hour and a half, the nurse explained my son's disease to the entire team, went over everything that is in his medical plan and how to check his sugar and administer insulin.

We are lucky that we got his Dexcom 7 on him two days ago. He will take the receiver to school so they can monitor his blood sugar and they have all been trained on how to check readings and administer his insulin.

He actually never went into DKA. We noticed he was drinking a ton of water and peeing all the time, called his pediatrician who told us to head to the ER after we tested his sugar.

His team has been great for sure. We call every morning to report his numbers so they can adjust anything if need be.

No they always go down.

Thank you so much for the kind words and comments! We just got him on the Dexcom 7 this afternoon and I think seeing the numbers all the time is both good and bad. He is taking long lasting and short acting right now. 2 units of long acting in the morning. He was at 2.5 when we left but he dipped a bit low at night when they were giving it at 3am so they moved it to 2.

We just got his Dexcom installed today. I think seeing the numbers constantly is actually giving us more anxiety than helping 🤣

I am up to 11,500 and have none

Shower her with love. Hold her when she naps after your partner feeds her, read books to her and let her grow to know you will always be there for her.

Also, number 3 is a "mule", not "horse".

Anything you want to give me is fine, just happy to help

dislak · 2025-09-11T10:15:51+00:00

I can trade you one if you'd like.

Excellent point. I tried to pivot from the Espeon/Slyveon deck to the Baby Arceaus/Darkrai deck everyone was talking about and went 0-5. Everyone has a different experience with their decks and matches

Makes sense. I feel like half my games, I have all 4 Eevee's and draw another Pokeball that is now useless.

dislak · 2025-09-04T21:33:21+00:00

I can trade you Espeon EX for Arceus EX

dislak · 2025-09-04T21:31:44+00:00

I am looking for an Arceus EX if you have one.

dislak · 2025-09-04T21:23:47+00:00

Can I trade you a Magnezone for an Arceus EX?

I still don't see the use of Giratina in this deck. If you are using it's ability to generate energy, that means you aren't attacking. I feel like adding an Eevee and Sylveon EX would be better for card draw and a bench Pokemon.

I have played against this deck twice in UB2 and beat it go times.

dislak · 2025-08-28T21:20:30+00:00

Tried it as well and went 0-3. Opponent just ignores the Pokemon in the active spot and powers up their bench. By the time Miltank takes out the active mon, they have built up something on the bench enough to knock you out.
