Good question, Grayce! I'm thinking of switching myself and am interested to know anyone has noticed a big difference between the two.

Pods Leaking?

Over the past few days I've been traveling and had several pod failures in a row. I'm still relatively new (maybe 1 year?) to omnipod and these types of failures don't make sense to me. I don't get a…

Guilty of a blood sugar.

You'd think I was admitting that I was guilty of a crime.



(phone call to my mom)



It starts with the positive.



"At least we know where this one came from.."



Then the introduction.



"You know that ice cream cake we had today?"



Spill it, already.



"Yeah, I'm 406."



Conclusion.



"But I corrected and I tested for ketones and I'm drinking water and I even finished that

Who I Am (My Introduction)

Hello,

My name is Jose and I have type 2 diabetes, I was diagnosed in December 2009. Both my Mom, Dad and second older Brother have diabetes, I knew that I was walking around with a big red target on my back.

For the first two days after I got the news I was in the "why me" mode. I remember one day I was sitting in-front of the computer listening to itunes when "Drive On" by Johnny Cash started playing and for some reason I have never really listened to the lyrics of that son… Continue

My First Blog EVER!!! Dear Diabetes... you suck.

Dear Diabetes,

I'm writing this to let you know that I am not happy with our current relationship. We've been together now for 8 years, and in that time, all you have given me is pain and frustration. I'm sorry if this letter hurts your feelings but I would like to get a few things off my chest.

In the beginning, I never really paid attention to you. In my own defense I was 20 when we met, and not very responsible. I knew that you were part of the family, but you

falling apart

So Friday night I had a miscarriage. I didn't even know I was pregnant. Didn't know that I could get pregnant. Wasn't expecting it at all. I cried, I fell apart. And now I'm getting told that it's for the best I don't need to have a child right now anyways. My problem is that I want to be a mom. Have for a while. Prayed that I would be able to. Just one, happy, healthy child. I know, there's still time for it. And now I know that I can get pregnant. But still, to have found out this way is just… Continue

A Sister's Goodbye

I wrote this for my older brother, Joshua Caleb we were just 14 months apart and were reffered to as twins by most. He was diagnosed with type 1 when he was 11, and he passed away last febuary from ARDS and hypoglycemia due to medical malpractice while in the hospital being treated for pneumonia. His death has made a huge impact on my life, and I miss him more everyday. It has taken this long to forgive myself and to let go of guilt, but he is in a better place not suffering from down syndrom
