Falling in love with life again!

Yesterday, we once again had our local pumpers' meeting...
It was such a moving experience!
The baby boy of one of us was born two weeks ago, and she just brought him along!
Cute little thing, totally healthy and his mum felt so fine...
We had joined her struggle for healthy BS during her pregnancy, and now, everything's fine... :-)
This is just encouraging. By the way, our Diabetes assistant told us she's pregnant, too ;-)

We talked about the times of crisis in our life with d, when we all hat… Continue

Today I got told I had Type 2 Diabetes

Today, after suspecting for some time I was told I had Type 2.
Will find out the rest of the outcome tomorrow. Not sure what happens next, just told I would be on medication. I feel a bit relieved and a bit apprehensive.

I Never Went To Camp Pt. II - The Arizona Adventure

I woke up on Monday morning and literally jumped out of bed at 5AM sharp. No alarm necessary. This was the aftereffect of my recent journey as a Triabetes volunteer in Tempe AZ for the Ironman...an adventure that I am sure will shape me for the rest of my life as a Type 1 diabetic.

Any regrets I had from not going to d-camp as a kid were obliterated before we even made it to the state line. The weekend had a much greater impact on me than I had ever expected.

I would like to thank all the part… Continue

Still alive

Well the past few months have been extremely hard. We have dealt with DD, not check her BG and not taking insulin. Dr. has recommended the pump, in fact demanded it. She said "the pump can't lie." So DD has been approved 100% for a meditronic 722. It should arrive tomorrow. We will take classes over Christmas Break and she will start using it. Hopefully it will make things a little easier for her. Along w/not having to be embarrassed around her friends or in class. She recently had a Teacher mak… Continue
