Hi – it's Kate, Kelly's mom.
I just got off the phone with her school principal. He called because Kelly fell on the
playground and scraped herself up. "Nothing a few Band-Aids won't cover, but she's
upset. She'd like to talk to you."
Of course, the first thing I did was check Follow so I could see what her number and
arrow said. Was this a collapse because she was too low? Thank goodness, she was
120 and steady – well within her target range.
She was crying when he put her on the phone. With the Follow information, I didn't
need to start the conversation telling her to get a BG value and grilling her about when
she last ate and whether her pump was working (although, I did ask the principal to
help confirm my Follow information matched her current G6 reading since it may have
changed). It was so great to be able to just be her mom, not her diabetes care police.
"Sweetheart! I'm so sorry you're hurt! Mr. Wong told me he's going to get you some ice
for your knee. Sit down honey and tell me what happened!"
Takeaway
When your loved ones know your numbers, they don't need to ask about them. With
Follow, they can be your loved ones when that's what you need and be your support
team only when you need it!
