Diabetes Diary: April 2006

http://kelseysdiabetesdiary.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Monday, April 10, 2006. Lately I've been thinking about our finger stick blood sugar monitors. I'm been reading at different sites that the number we get when we test our blood is actually quite arbitrary. Test twice in one minute and you'll get two different results, which sometimes vary quite a bit. On Friday evening my husband and I had a wonderful dinner from a new "Good Carb" cookbook my mom got me for Christmas. Beef and spinach burritos! First...

Diabetes Diary: June 2006

http://kelseysdiabetesdiary.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Friday, June 23, 2006. Yesterday my husband and I attended the JDRF. Research Update and Annual Meeting. What a great night! I was sent an invitation because we participated in the walk last year, but we haven't been that involved in the chapter other than that event. I felt a little awkward, like we were barging in on an established group, but my husband marched right to the front for a good seat! And others, I've been introduced to the most importa...

Diabetes Diary: January 2006

http://kelseysdiabetesdiary.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. I only do finger sticks on my middle two fingers. That gives me four fingers total, with two sides each, for a whopping total of 8 places to prick my finger. So, giving myself injections and testing my blood was traumatic. I’d sit on my bed with the lancing device against my finger for literally 20 minutes before having the courage (or impatience) to finally push the button. So, 12 plus years later, I’ve developed pretty go...

Diabetes Diary: August 2006

http://kelseysdiabetesdiary.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. Not too many people in my real life read my blog. but my most faithful reader is my mom. It's the opposite with our group. Everyone is quick to share what works for them, while always prefacing it with "whatever works for you is great! So, I thought I'd share my mom's praise for our group. However, an ablation doesn't sound as bad as what I called it for the last few weeks. I kept saying, "My mom is having her thyroid ob...

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Wake me when the semester's over. Do you know that feeling when you have SO much to do, you just ignore it all? Well, I'm reaping the benefits of that situation now. Why, you may ask would I put myself through this? Meanwhile, my husband was feeling under the weather over Thanksgiving and I feel like my body is trying to fight off a bug, because again. my blood sugars are running high. I'm combatting it with lots o...So, C...

Diabetes Diary: March 2006

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Thursday, March 23, 2006. My streak made it 23 days. Well, I made a strategic decision to change my exercise streak. Working out every single day is not realistic for me. I'm not trying to worm my way out of this (or maybe I am! But here's my reasoning:. My exercise "streak" has been altered, but not abandoned! Posted by Kelsey @ 1:16 PM. Friday, March 17, 2006. Musings on Saint Patrick's Day! My boss is Irish and just sent an email to the shareholde...

Diabetes Diary: February 2006

http://kelseysdiabetesdiary.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Wednesday, February 22, 2006. I've been reading a lot of blogs about food choices lately, and it got me thinking. I was always a skinny girl (of course I didn't think so at the time! I had good eating habits and didn't like a lot of junk food. Then, diabetes struck! At 14 years old I suddenly started gaining weight. (We're all familiar with the diabetes weight gain thing, so I don't have to elaborate! We all the know the usual suspects: fish, whole g...

Diabetes Diary: May 2006

http://kelseysdiabetesdiary.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Kelsey's diary about living life with type 1 diabetes. Thursday, May 25, 2006. I'm nothing if not consistent. As I've mentioned previously, I started seeing this doc (my first true endo) last July. I hadn't had an A1C in years (college, moving, life, I've got plenty of excuses! My first report card came back with a 7.3 which wasn't too bad considering my care was at a solid B- level. I decided to get that number down and start preparing my body for baby :) Three months later I was 6.4! Oh, and I learned ...
