When I was first dx with D at age 9, it started with one huge meter (or it seemed so to me), one "poker", and individually wrapped strips, all kept in a neat leather pouch in a drawer next to the…Continue

Haircuts, piercings and broken pumps

Posted on May 4, 2010 at 8:48pm 1 Comment

I have been really busy with all of my schoolwork, finishing up my Junior year of high school, so I haven't been on TuD in quite awhile. I thought I would let all of you, who care so deeply about even the trivial things, what I have been up to lately. First off, about a month and a half ago, I got my hair cut. Now this was a big deal for me, because I have always had really long hair, it was about at my waistband before I cut it. I got it cut a little past my shoulders, and it is so much…

roughest day yet

Okay here goes,

Today had to be one of the toughest days since I have gotten my pump, three months ago on Friday by the way. It all started with, of course, me. I procrastinated until the last minute to call and reorder, they were closed Sunday, and by the time I got home yesterday and the day before they were already closed again. Yesterday I found out that my health insurance, which is free through Washington state, ran out at the end of January. To make things worse, today…

Tell me how you like the mio infusion sets. Right now I have the quick set. Yes I am finally hooked up and I LOVE it! I had one problem with one tubing set. I think I injected it where some scar tissue was so I wasn't getting the proper insulin because even after a correction my BG was still running over 300! lol So far me and my pump trainer are still making adjustments.

Aw that's no fun. I totally know how you feel. It can be so frustrating sometimes. How are you liking your pump? I see we use the same kind. I've been on mine for about two years now and love it. Still fine tuning all the settings though. So many variables with school and life, I swear sometimes it's more of an art than an exact science this Diabetes thing. Well, I hope you have a good Monday. :0)
