I had my endo appointment earlier today, so I wanted to share the results from it.
Going into the appointment I knew that my A1C was going to be bad and that my weight was too much and that my blood sugars were all over the map and that my doctor was not going to be [...]
I have my first endo appointment in almost 6 months on Thursday. I have to get my blood work done tomorrow, so I am a little nervous. I already know that my A1C is going to be high, probably around 8. I haven’t had one that high since I was first diagnosed. Yesterday was my [...]
I contacted my endocrinologist today because I need a new prescription for my pump supplies before I see her later this morning. I was hoping that I could just wait until I saw her on March 25 to get a prescription from her, but there is no way that I am going to have enough [...]
Last night I started to think about some things, usually not good when I do this kind of stuff. Diabetes makes me think a lot. Let me exaplain the background of the story first and why it came about. Over the last, I’d say 2-3 weeks I have fell in love with this new bbq [...]
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. [...]
In a post I did earlier in the week, I explained that I was working a lot and not really sleeping at all. Well, along with that I have been working right through exercise time as well. My exercise has consisted of throwing footballs and doing a little jogging at football practice when I am [...]
MMM….Insulin. That’s what I said to myself today around 10:00 a.m. when a co-worker came up to my desk and said, there’s a package downstairs for you. I was starting to get extremely nervous because about 20 minutes before that, my pump beeped and said “Low Reservoir” and I was completely out of insulin. I [...]
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 [...]
First weekend with the new basal rates and carb to insulin ratio, not bad. I didn’t see much of a difference, but the after meal highs have come down a little. There were still highs, but they were about 170-180 insteado f the 230-240 I was having. It could have also been the food that [...]
Today’s post, although later is about the results from my endo appointment today. I just came home from football practice a little bit ago, so that is why it is such a late post tonight. But anywho, onto the appointment. A diabetic’s mandatory meeting.
I was actually on time so that started out well. I handed [...]
