Too Fat for OmniPod

It’s been three straight days going to the gym now, and I feel great.  For the first Monday morning in I don’t know how long, that I weighed myself Friday morning, and then again Monday morning, and I weighed less than I did on Friday.  It was very exciting to see that on the scale.  Basically, I made a decision after having to explain something to my girlfriend that made me realize, ok you need to get serious.  This is what happened.

Amanda recently was hired as a fourth grade teacher and had to go to some training on Saturday and when she was there one of the girls she met and went to lunch with pulled out a meter and tested herself.  Amanda asked if she wore a pump because she didn’t see anything and the girl explained that she wore an Omnipod and Dexcom.  Amanda then asked me, “Why don’t you get the Omnipod, it seems so much better.”  My answer, which was the last reason I needed to lose weight was, “Basically, I’m too overweight, and I eat too much and I use too much insulin, so I would be changing it out every single day.”  I go through the 3.0 (or whatever the exact number is) reservoir for the MM Paradigm every 1 1/2 days.

By the way, I am still collecting requests for free website upgrades, re-designs, blog setups, etc. for a contribution for Diabetes Month. Contact me today with your requests.

Have a great day.
