The Unreasonable Math of Type 1 Diabetes
In January our son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). This post talks about the unreasonable math needed to manage his T1D.
Hasnain says:
Just reading all the math involved here makes my brain hurt. Like… I’d heard how type 1 diabetes was hard but this make me appreciate it in a whole new way.
“”The worst part about it is that; If you are better at math you will live longer. Who makes a disease where the good math people live longer? — Scott Hanselman T1D”
I call the maths of T1D unreasonable because I am finding all this stuff difficult and stressful. Even though I know all the relevant numbers, even if I have all the information, even if I am comfortable with the calculations, even if all the factors are accounted for; when we give Sam food or insulin (and sometimes when we do nothing at all) his BGL changes in wildly unexpected ways.”
