Type 1 at 30: This is Why I'll Have a Secret Stash of Juice
http://type1at30.blogspot.com/2011/07/this-is-why-ill-have-secret-stash-of.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. This is Why I'll Have a Secret Stash of Juice. My number one complaint about my OB is that I always have to wait on her. At my appointment yesterday, I sat an hour in the waiting area and another hour in the exam room. Nearing the end of this, I was getting really weepy about the fact that I'd gone from feeling uncomfortably puffy before my arrival to feeling like I was dragging around dead weight below the knees. Um Wait. What? Well, no," I said, as respectfully as I could....

Sunday, May 29, 2011. Friday night, I started wearing out well before our D&D game was over. Half snoozing on the couch, those still conscious took pity on me and another couch-snoozer and shut the game down. After everyone went home, I went to bed. I eyed my Dexcom, unhappy to see a 175, and tested. Yep, high. I bolused, but not too. Aggressively since I was about to sleep, and settled down for sleep. My stomach started to rumble and my blood sugar would not. Ohhhhh, I was sick! No, the symptoms were no...

Monday, March 28, 2011. A conversation with Dexcom, with a sensor on its last legs:. Me: No. 152. Me: No, I said. Translation, "OMG, I'm so freaking confused my circuits just almost exploded! Me: Sigh. OK, I think 8 days was this sensor's lifespan. *stop sensor*. Links to this post. Labels: continuous glucose monitor. Sunday, March 27, 2011. Sugar: The Bitter Truth. Of fructose with zero. Fiber Could changing my low treatment perhaps reduce my triglycerides? Honestly, really interesting stuff. It's m...

Monday, November 7, 2011. Xander's Arrival Story Part 4. At one point, determined to get at least a little sleep, I asked the nurse to please put me on a dextrose drip. This nurse (who was. My favorite in general! Of which I am glad, because we had other things to focus on. Xander was healthy, and seemed just so perfect! Chad, Xander, and I were Tired with a capital T. There were times when it took me 10 minutes to test my blood sugar because I would fall asleep 4 times before I finished. Serious...Chad ...

Friday, June 24, 2011. Kind of a Big Difference. So after one of those meals, he tested on his handy but very simple Relion meter, and. We had a moment of panic before I said, "Wait. turn it over.". Yep, confirmed. it had been upside down. There's a pretty big difference between 201 and 102! Links to this post. Friday, June 17, 2011. Things have been going well. My insulin-to carb ratios. Been going up, up, up. but with only 9 weeks left, I'm in the home stretch. It's not. Start breaking down due to my h...

Sunday, January 30, 2011. The Logistics of Pumping with a Growing Belly. I realized recently that I won't have as much fatty space on my tummy once my tummy starts to get big, so I'm going to have to start using other areas for insulin infusion sites just so I can "rotate" my sites sufficiently. Dexcom sites are only supposed to be on the abdomen, technically, so I figure I may eventually have to put all. Infusion set, which works really well for me but takes two hands when removing the applicator. I tol...

Thursday, November 11, 2010. My First Scare with Diabetes. I had a really weird. Encounter with possible diabetes once before in my life. It wasn't a relative. It wasn't a friend. It was. My cat. Meet Ali (pronounced like "Ollie"). She's an adorable, spunky, defiant, hyper little princess. She's also one of my favorite photography subjects, so excuse me while I indulge a little. So we knew something was very. The drive to the vet was horrible for me, and filled with tears. Could it be cancer? Which was f...

Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Looking Like a Baby! We had our second big ultrasound appointment today, with the perinatologist (an OB who specializes in high-risk pregnancies). Everything is still looking healthy and on-track, and we were happy to see some fat on those cheeks since he was just a skeletal little thing last time! He's holding his knees up to his chest with one arm, feet sticking straight out in front of him. Definitely my favorite shot from the ultrasound session. I'm just like, "DUDE! I'll a...
