Lately, I have been going through infusion sets like it is my job. I wish I was getting paid for this job though. Normally I can keep an infusion set in for about 4-7 days before I start experiencing any weird effects or begin to think that maybe some insulin is leaking. However, it’s been about 2-3 days at most before I can feel and smell it leaking. I don’t know what it is lately, but it’s really starting to piss me off.
It’s a new year so my deductible is back in business again, so I really would prefer to not have to order supplies for a few months, but diabetes doesn’t really care about that does it?
I have been eating a little unhealthy lately, so the extra insulin could definitely be a factor, too much insulin to the same site too quickly. My fridge died on me 2 weekends ago when I was camping. I had a mini fridge to store things that needed to be cold, but the new fridge did not get delivered until yesterday after a bunch of nasty phone calls to Sears. I didn’t go grocery shopping within that time period because I had nowhere to store all the cold food. So, I have been eating out a lot over the last few days, not good.
The good news however, is that that fridge is here, and I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow morning, and I can’t wait to fill it with a bunch of veggies and healthy food.
Well, I hope you all have a great weekend.
