In fact, next month I get to chat with one of their Diabetes nurses (who is Type 1 herself) and we will likely be chatting about insulin pumps (see #5). Yay! Especially because I'm trying. I know I need to pre-bolus more (among other things). I know I need to aim lower. (ALSO what this graph does not show is the 52 last week.). In other news. #Allsgood. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I wish I could’ve talked to her. Well, I know I could have. But I didn’t even know if she spoke English. And also I didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable in any way. I saw her again in the restaurant a couple of days later. Husband and two energetic kiddos. Eating a bowl of yogurt. “How the hell did she carb count that one? Wednesday, July 15, 2015.

I've often wondered, "what does my husband feel/think about my T1 diabetes? Here's the thing: When I was dx'd and started treating , I said to him (my husband/then boyfriend.and to myself), "Don't [you dare] treat me any different. I just need to inject insulin now to cover the food I eat." Period. Also, here's this: I always was afraid (being a bit insecure) that the Dexcom (or another medical device) would somehow...
