You may remember last week I write about how I left my job at an interactive marketing agency to go back to running my own company full time.  There are a lot of risks that I have taken in doing so, but all risks that I am willing to deal with in order to reap the rewards.  One of the positive outcomes that I am already starting to see is better control of my diabetes.  Working at home with diabetes has become a lot easier for me than working away from home in an office. First, all my supplies are right here.  There were plenty of times in the past when an infusion set fell out, and I...

Obviously one of my main goals for 2012 has not been accomplished.  I wanted to try and post something every day for the entire year.  I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn’t think it was going to be this hard.  I also didn’t expect as many distractions as I have had over the last couple of weeks.  There’s been carnivals, fairs, festivals, sporting events, work, and just about anything else other than time to sit down and write.  A lot of my time lately has been spent planning.  My home office now has 4 whiteboards that are completely filled and each one is filled...

It’s official, my ears are totally clogged and I can barely hear out of them.  I am tired, I am exhausted, and I just want to sleep. This blog post is not very interesting, sorry. I used to always laugh at my dad when he got sick, because he never did, but when he did, he acted like a little child.  Reason I am telling you this, is because Amanda says that I am the same exact way.

I have been sick lately, and it sucks.  It makes it even worse that my blood sugars are all over the place the last 48 hours because of me being sicks.  Diabetes sick days suck!  As soon as I start feeling sick, I automatically start thinking of the diabetes sick day check list from the Diabetes for Dummies book that I read in one day after my diagnosis.  I never remember all of the items on the checklist, but there are a few things that stick out to me.  The number one thing being that my blood sugar can stay high during the whole time that I am sick. That’s exactly how it’s...

2012 is here.  I can’t believe it, but it is here.  I have not set any sort of resolutions in several years, but I do set goals.  No, they are not the same thing.  My resolutions always tended to be things that I am going to change about myself.  My goals are all about making myself better and reaching a new level.  So there are a few goals that I have for the entire year, but mainly the goals I have will be weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. First goal…. 2 weeks of a vegetarian diet.  I was going to do 2 weeks Vegan, but I do not think that I can do it.  I do not want to...

Tonight when I was driving home from work, my blood sugar started to feel a little low.  I was on Interstate 95, so there was no way that I could just stop and test.  About 45 minutes before I left work, I tested and I was at 105.  First, you may be asking, why are you testing, don’t you have a Dexcom?  Yes, I do.  I finished my first Seven days with the Dexcom and it was starting to peel off because of a lot of exercising and moving around I was doing, so I didn’t extend it.  Anyway, back to the drive home. Before I left work, I stopped at the soda machine and bought a pink...
