Yesterday I wrote a post about things that I do when my blood sugar goes really high, over 400. I received some comments and some tweets about my own way of handling this situation, especially # 4 which was don’t drink water. A lot of people had said that they do the exact opposite and [...]
Over the last 48 hours I have had some of the best blood sugars that I have had in a long time. It all started with an extreme high on Sunday night. My glucose meter was reading, “HI” we all know what that means. No, not, “Oh shit, what do I do now”. It means [...]
Last night I went to the Florida Panthers vs. Washington Capitals hockey game. It was embarrassing to be a Panthers fan last night because they got their butts handed to them, to speak in nice terms. My account rep had upgraded my seats for me for that game so we were sitting in the Lexus [...]
If you follow The Life of a Diabetic on Twitter, then this post is not going to sound like much of a surprise to most of you. My blood sugars have been crazy over the past 2 months, even 3. I haven’t seen my endocrinologist since October, which I was seeing her every month for [...]

This Sunday morning has not had the greatest start to it so far. For one, I had a high blood sugar all night long. Partially my fault, and partially because a bad site. I changed the site this morning and my sugars are still a little high, but slowly coming down. I hate eating when [...]
Here it is another Friday and another week gone. Where has the time gone. This had been one of the busiest and craziest weeks of my life. Everything from battling high blood sugars, extrely high blood sugars, meetings with clients, writing proposals and contracts, actually doing the consulting work, exercising, dieting, losing weight, 3 am [...]
