New Year New Diet

Posted by Chris on Jan 2, 2012 in Diet and Weight Loss, Endo Appointment | 0 comments
2012 brings the opportunity to start fresh and start new things.  Every year I set a few goals, and last years goals I did not do a good job in accomplishing them.  As I stated yesterday, I plan on setting smaller goals throughout the year that lead up to the big 2012 total goal.  Today, I am going to talk about the dieting goals that I have. During my last visit to the endo, I spoke with the nurse practitioner and the dietician about me losing weight.  They mentioned that I should go on a 2 week vegan diet and that I would lose a healthy amount of weight during that 2 week time frame. ...

My Awesome Endo Office Appointment

Posted by Chris on Dec 21, 2011 in Endo Appointment | 2 comments
I had my endo appointment last Friday and I haven’t had much of a chance to post about it, so here we go. I knew going into the appointment that I wouldn’t be meeting with my actual endo that day because she was out of the office, but I would be meeting with a nurse that I’ve known from a past career and ventures that I have done.  A quick background and explanation of that.  I used to travel to a lot of local diabetes event when I worked for a horrible company.  One of the events that I regularly attended was a CEU class that was taught by a diabetes educator and an...

Diabetes in December

Posted by Chris on Dec 1, 2010 in Diet and Weight Loss, Endo Appointment, Exercise and Diabetes, Uncategorized | 0 comments
Another month has come and gone and now we are in the finally month of the year. Are you serious??!!?? It seems like just yesterday that I was writing a post outlining my goals for 2010. Well I can tell you one thing now, I did not reach those goals. The year is not over so I still have a month to try and accomplish some of them, but I defimitely wont be meeting them all. One of my main goals of the year was losing weight and I have not done a good job at that. I have been spinning at home, but after just two days of doing it, my ass hurts so bad from the seat, so I have to buy something...

Results of My Endo Appointment

Posted by Chris on Mar 25, 2010 in Endo Appointment, Exercise and Diabetes | 0 comments
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 very happy with me.  Luckily my doctor is diabetic herself, so she knows what it is like to live with diabetes.  I explained to her different things that were going on with my life that may be affecting my blood sugars and them being high too frequently.  Losing a job, starting my own company, working 80 hours a week and not...

Start to a Good BG Roll?

Posted by Chris on Mar 23, 2010 in Diet and Weight Loss, Endo Appointment, Exercise and Diabetes | 0 comments
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 best full day of blood sugars and I am going to try and copy it as much as I can for as long as I can. First, to start the day, I actually ate breakfast.  It wasn’t a very healthy breakfast, a donut, but it was something in my stomach.  For lunch I had a chicken sandwich, not fried, grilled, so it was...

Time To Re-Order Supplies ASAP

Posted by Chris on Mar 10, 2010 in Doctor's Visits, Endo Appointment | 2 comments
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 supplies until that time.  I only have four infusion sets left and about 7-8 reservoirs.  The reservoirs, I don’t really care too much about because I re-use them a couple times before I actually throw them away.  Infusion sets obviously can’t be re-used.  I have been keeping one set in for on average about 6...
