Last week I was asked what my average blood sugar was and I could not give a good answer. I thought, hmm I can look in my pump, but wait, I don’t always input my sugars into there. So then, maybe I can look at my meter, but oh yea, I use about 4 different [...]

All this press about all these new technologies and studies and companies joining up with non-profits to do this and to do that, and blah blah blah. At first when I read the post by Amy from Diabetes Mine about JDRF and BD joining forces, it instantly just reminded me of the post I just [...] First, my plan to start with the CGM yesterday didn’t go so well. I did not have stable blood sugars for more than an hour yesterday, so I knew it’s not good to start a new sensor when my sugars are fluctuating. So, we will have to try again today. I’ve had a few bad [...] Today I have decided to wear my sensor for the first time in almost two months. I had it charging all night long because it wasn’t even connected to the charger during that 2 months. I am not even sure if the sensors are still good because I know that they have short expiration date. [...] Today it is diabetes inventory day. How often do you do this? I usually do it once every 3 or 4 months just to see how much I have and how much I will need to re-order. Typically, I have a lot more infusion sets than I do reservoirs because I don’t change my site [...] I was excited for a while to attend the Diabetes Research Institute’s 2.0. This conference shows me that the people working towards a goal are finally listening to us web diabetes bloggers. The list of attendees was amazing. Just to name a few, Kerri Sparling, Manny Hernandez, Allison Blass, Scott Strumello, Gina Capone, and Sara [...] Last week was filled with a lot of work, I mean a lot of work for me. I have been working on continuing to re-design this blog because to me it just doesn’t seem right. Is it easy for you to read, anything distracting you, or fonts too difficult to read? Along with that blog [...] Doctors and deductibles. Both have things in common, but also a lot of differences as well. You don’t want to have a high deductible, just as much as you don’t want to have a high doctor. Your happy when you meet your deductible, hopefully you are happy after you meet your doctor. But then comes [...] I received a phone call today from my endo’s office to confirm my appointment for Friday and I was confused. I said, there’s no way that I could have scheduled an appointment for that day because Friday is Charlie Kimball’s race down in Homestead – Miami that I am going to so I can’t have [...] I don’t know what is going on with my body right now. My blood sugars are all over the map. I am eating healthier and losing weight, but at the same time losing control of my blood sugars. My 7 day average on my meter is 210, 14 day is 198 and my 30 day [...] |
