I have her because I dont feel my blood sugar highs or lows anymore. Not long before I got her, I checked because it was dinner time and I was 32! But I felt fine.

Wow! Thats crazy to not be able to feel a 32!!! Yeah, I'm starting to not feel my lows until 40 or 50 now. I used to be able to feel when I was 69 on the dot. I have never been able to feel when I was high. Well, sometimes I feel really lazy or a little sick, but other than that I feel normal. Tomorrow I'm going to the endo. Wish me luck(:

Thanks:D My A1C went up from 6.2 to 7.0. Oh well, just got to work harder for a better one next time. The next I go will be for a pre pump class, which I am super excited about! I cant wait to get a pump! I am looking at the Animas. Have you ever gone to a diabetes camp? I was wondering because I am going to one this summer.

Don't worry, it'll get better :)
Awesome!! I have the Animas Ping. I LOVE it, but just tonight it broke. The battery cap broke, so I was like "ok no big deal, I'll just go get the spare." So I got the spare, and then when I put it on the pump itself cracked. It's not like I over tightened it, it just cracked. So I'll have a new one by thursday. Until then, shots. Oh joy.
Yeah I've been to D camp. It's the greatest thing ever! It's like going to some alternate universe where diabetics are considered "normal" and then the non diabetics are considered odd. Plus you get to make friends with other diabetics and learn a lot from them. I had a great experience and I hope you do too! Unfortunately I didn't make it back in this year... :(

Oh that sucks that sucks that your pump broke. So I guess you got your new one today. I know, I HATE giving myself shots 3 times a day!

Yeah, it took a lot to get into the camp. So much paper work and stuff. OI hope I will have an awesome experience there. My cousin went to one and he went back every year. He is like 20 something now. His wife is 3 months pregnant now, so that is pretty cool. That would be so different to have so many diabetics surrounding you, to where that is considered normal, and the other people who arent diabetic are not normal. It would be like a break from being 'different'. How old are you now? I'm 14. Just turned 14 on April 10.

OMG! Brandi! I was at camp a couple of weeks ago and one of the campers had an alert dog! It made me think of you. His dog was sooo cute and her name was Emma. I guess some dogs are life savers :)

Yeah, it was pretty cool! How have you and Shyla been doing?

we've been pretty good. Shyla's still not over her fear of people though :/ those kids really messed her up.
