Well, last week I decided to go back to trying my Sugar Free Saturday way of cutting back on my insulin intake so I can possibly get that OmniPod I want so bad. Sorry if you are tired of hearing about how I want the OmniPod, but it is the only way to continue to remind myself what I am fighting for, why I am eating a salad at lunch or a half of sandwich instead of a whole foot long sub or food court chinese food. It is all because I am losing weight to make lifestyle changes. There is going to be some sugar in my food intake tonight, unless the wedding that I am going to doesn’t serve the cake until after midnight.
Speaking of which, this post isn’t going to be long because I have to get ready for this wedding that I have to go to tonight. Going to weddings are not really fun in my mind, but I try to make the best of them. I have to make sure that I always take an extra infusion set and insulin, and strips and anything else that I may need because there is no going back to get more supplies or leaving the wedding earlier. Unfortunately, that happened to me one time. My cousin got married back in 2007 and I flew back home for it because I was in the wedding party. Well long story short, the reception was at a campgrounds about an hour away and we were to spend the night there. About 2 hours into the reception, I realized that I only had about 15 units of insulin and forgot to bring more. So I had to go all the way home and miss the whole night of fun and time with the family.
Well, have a great day everybody. Only one more day until World Diabetes Day.
