Controlling my diabetes over the last few days has been…. easy. I don’t think that I have ever said that before, but it has been. I’ve been eating not that great, but have been counting carbs almost dead on because I have had only 1 or 2 sugars over 200 this whole week. I did this before and as soon as I made a comment about it my sugars went off the charts for about a week straight, so I have contemplated writing this or not because I don’t want it to happen again.
On the other hand, it feels so damn good to be able to say that it has been easy. I test, I eat, I test and it’s still normal. No infusion set mess ups, no low reservoirs when I am not at home, no running out of test strips, no low battery warnings on the pump, I can’t complain at all! In fact, it even let me meet a new diabetic today. I was at Starbucks (since I’ve been unemployed the last week I go to coffee shops and do work) and someone saw my insulin pump and told me that their wife was diabetic and was thinking about switching to an insulin pump and he hasn’t talked to a pumper face-to-face yet, so it was a great help to him. Thank you diabetes for giving me this opportunity to help somebody out.
I have not won the so-called war against diabetes yet, but I am sure kicking the $&!# out of it right now.
Awesome! I’m glad things are going well, even if it’s just for a week. A week is still great. 🙂
