First, my plan to start with the CGM yesterday didn’t go so well. I did not have stable blood sugars for more than an hour yesterday, so I knew it’s not good to start a new sensor when my sugars are fluctuating. So, we will have to try again today. I’ve had a few bad diabetes days in the last 2-3 days. My blood sugars haven’t been that bad, but also not that good. I have had 3 sites fall out, I don’t know why they aren’t sticking. I think it’s because my insertion device is not working properly. I have another device, but of course I have no idea where it’s at, why would I know.
Today is going to be a long day. I have a lot of work to get done, a lot of cleaning, a lot of laundry, and some ironing to do because I have an interview tomorrow. I’m nervous because it’s the same office that my roommate works at, so I need to make sure that I am on my best game so I don’t make him look like a donkey(chose this word instead of the other to keep it pg), for him referring me. Do you know how hard this is going to be? There is a 24 hour marathon of college basketball going on todayon ESPN which is going to make it hard for me to concentration. Plus, since this is the 3rd Tuesday that I have been unemployed, every Tuesday is a Law and Order: SVU marathon. I have been probably never blogged about this before, but this is my favorite show. Quick side note on SVU and how it became my favorite show. Back in my freshman year of college I had a huge paper that was due the next day, what a surprise and I was working on it for like 3 hours straight without a break. Then I decided to take a break and watch SVU for the first time, but I would mute the tv during commercials and do my paper for 5 minutes, then 5 minutes at the next commercial. I did this for about 4 episodes of SVU and not only got my paper down, but read 3 chapters of a text book. This than became the only way that I would do homework and reading, watch SVU or another show if it wasn’t on, mute the tv and then read. I found that my attention span was only about 5 minutes anyway, so it worked out best.
Wow, sorry about that side not there. I have seen a few people blogging about the Bayer Contour USB. I freaking want one! Can I call Nick Jonas to get one? My little nieces (actually my cousins, but my aunt is more like a sister to me, so I have called them my nieces for 10 years, but now that I have an actual niece, my brother’s daughter, I’m not sure if I can still do that), they watch the Jonas brothers so that’s a good enough connection to them I think. It looks so cool that you just test and then plug it right into the computer. I never upload my sugars to the computer, ever. I don’t have the USB cable for my Freestyle Lite, if I had one, I probably would. My doctor’s office has every single one of them at her’s so when I go she just uploads them.
[As I’m typing this sentence a brand new episode of SVU is starting, pause while I watch the opening minute of it]
How many people have used the USB Contour already? What are your thoughts, are there any bad ones of it yet?
Does anybody know how much it costs, or how much it is going to cost?
