A little about me
I had the privilege of being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the glorious age of 14. Awkward Jr.High-going-into-high school girl. I started out on NPH and Humalog, shortly after my doctor suggested going on Lantus and 4 shots a day, and did that for several years.
Through those several years I was in and out of the hospital for more times than should be allowed a young girl. Eating disordered and sick. Through the insanity I met my darling Husband, he was SO key in getting me through it all, he encouraged me to get on my insulin pump and to strive for over all healthiness. Now, we've been happily married for nearly a year, 1 year on June 29th. :D
This used to talk about how I was striving to be healthy and take care of myself as my Husband and I would like to have kids one day - Well, that has obviously changed!!
Shortly after I joined this site my husband and I found out we were expecting last April, and as of December 17th, 2008 we have the most beautiful little girl! My pregnancy was completely uneventful except for the normal pregnancy ails of discomfort and heartburn. :) She was born after a quick 9 hours of labor and was 9 pounds even. We all wonder where she keeps the 9 pounds because she looks so tiny and fits very well in normal newborn clothes. Lol! :D
Now, we're adjusting to life with a newborn and I'm trying to figure out how to balance the blood sugars yet again! :D

Frustrated just doesn't quite sum it up properly.
My blood sugar has been running high all day. Nothing below a 280. I've been taking extra insulin ALL.DAY.LONG. Doubling the amount of insulin I'd normally to take for food, I was starving so wanted to eat anyways.
My sweet husband took me to my Pilates class tonight, since my car is dead. We stopped…

A few months ago my sweet daughter brought home a nasty stomach bug she decided to share with me and caused us both
to be laid out flat for a week. She, of course, recovered quicker than I did so it was all I could do to keep her entertained and not be running to the bathroom to puke while Kenny was at…
Type 1 Diabetic 8 Years and Counting

It's been 8 years since I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. The anniversary of this came and went this year (March 22nd or 23rd, I don't remember which! Haha!) without my paying any attention to it due
to moving and other insanities.
I don't 'celebrate' it or anything. I think that would be silly. However, I do reminisce.

Dear CVS Caremark,
I don't buy that line you feed me every time I call you.
You have put me through 5 months of hell and I just found out it isn't over yet.
You see, I am a very patient person, willing to let people screw up and
even screw me over because it's in my nature to instantly think "well,
maybe they are new and didn't know what they were doing" "maybe they
were having a… Continue
