Blood Sugars Stayed High All Sunday

Posted by Chris on Feb 1, 2010 in ADA, High Blood Sugar, Insulin Pump Problems | 0 comments

Posted by Chris on Sep 17, 2009 in ADA, JDRF | 3 comments
First off, if I have anymore computer problems I am going to flip out and throw this thing out the window.  I was getting some sort of script errors and I don’t know what the heck was going on, so I was pretty much computer-less yesterday.  Anyway on a better note, I have my cup of coffee next to me, making Amanda some chocolate chip pancakes as I speak.  Today is going to be a long day, but what day isn’t anymore.  Long day at the office, long night of football, then the gym, then dinner, then work at home and maybe watch some football if I’m lucky.  I wanted to do...
