Senior College Project
So, my last project in my college career, is about family crisis. I have picked having a family member diagnosed with diabetes. All my research is done, and now I have to create a collection/collage of items to put on display in a showcase at the school. I am going to put obvious items, the box my PDM came in, insulin vial, used pod, but I am also looking for other neat ideas. One I am going to use is this website, to point out the importance of social support. Does anyone have any other…See More

Sam commented on AnaB's blog post 'Omni-Pod - night one - a little rocky'"Every time I've had more than 1-2 drinks at night I've had drastically lower glucose, or perhaps increased insulin sensitivity through the first half of the next day."
Scott Wilkins commented on AnaB's blog post 'Omni-Pod Pump Start - Today'"My first day was yesterday. So far I'm very excited. In 24 hours I've already learned that I've got a lot more to learn. I shouldn't be surprized, but alas I'm not as well seasoned as I expected. I'm 40 years as a type…"
Scott Wilkins commented on AnaB's blog post 'Omni-Pod - night one - a little rocky'"Same thing occured to me last night. Which was my first night on the Omnipod for me. I did consume a small Margarita. Did my homework and baseled correctly to the expected carbs. But, alas I hit 47 during the night. Alcohol does that. Gonna have to…"

veterandiabetic commented on AnaB's blog post 'Omni-Pod Pump Start - Today'"Good luck! Starting a new pump can be exciting and a bit nerve racking at the same time. But, it seems as though you have been prepping well. I have been on the omni pod for 6 years and it is awesome! If it is your first pump, it is easy to use and…"

Well kids, last night I went out to dinner.. had a few cocktails around the bonfire.. sugar was looking great. I was really feeling happy with how everything was going. Positive outlook on the whole ordeal.
At 2am I woke up at 47.
I do go into like ultra panic mode when I wake up in the middle of the night low.. it's scary.
So I decided to make an executive decision (as my Dad would say ;))
I temp basal'd to -50%.
I woke up at 5:30am at 87.
Then I woke up at 8:30…

Didn't sleep very well last night.. thought the several glasses of wine with a friend in the evening would help.. but it didn't.
Just kind of emotional... excited but nervous, ready but not..
I've must've read my list of things to take with me to the Doctor's appointment 10 times..
My sugars have been running pretty low this last week.. I wonder if I should email my Doctor that so they know before I go in my for appointment today.
We have about a 30 minute drive to…
The Beginning...Friday is D-Day.. Omni-Pod day.

Raging diabetic, new to the community..
Couple questions (sure more to come)
If I post a blog, does it automatically post to the groups I've joined?
Do I have to be friends with people to read/comment - or as long as I'm part of the groups that I'm interested in?
What's the friend aspect about? Similar to facebook?
_________________________________________________________________________
Now on to what I'd really like to discuss
Friday is…
