Hello! I am Dawn Welcome to my page

Depression? Sure!
I have to promise and remind myself at least once every day that that this damn sugar may have made my life a little more difficult, but it is NOT going to kill me. Its a ballgame I will not lose, period.
Been shooting up for 56 ...
I was using the Apidra in my pump too, but after about the middle of the 2nd day, I was getting really high numbers. Now I use Novolog and it seems to do better...Lately I have been really having some high numbers, and not sure if it's the insulin...
You think 45-55 units a day is high? I was taking 175 units a day of Lantus along with about 300 of fast acting..I go through about 80-90 units now through my pump
You sound like me....First they typed me II, then did testing and typed me I, then I was told I had Diabetes 1.5...Makes you wonder if they even know how to describe us..
When I got my pump they sent me the Onetouch Ultralink..I like my other onetouch better. I am able to put more information into the meter and then download it. I am also using a CGM so I always have blood sugars recorded. I just have to manuel che...

I think alot of it is going to depend on how well your diabetes is controlled before surgery. With me, foot surgery would be the worst, I have neuropathy in my lower legs and feet. I had gastric bypass surgery in April 2008 and my laproscopy incis...

Dealing with Life
Why is it that life with diabetes seems to be one problem after another? Some days are so good and others just aren't...I remember a time when I could just eat what I wanted to do what I wanted without having to think about having enough supplies with me, or if I will run out of insulin while driving down the road...Life just seemed so much easier "before" diabetes....I wish more people were educated in diabetes and what we have to do just to stay "normal"....Okay done venting.....Let's hope wit… Continue

Tracy Malone said… - Thank you Dawn. Having Diabetes is really turning my life upside down. I am having a very difficult time coping. I hate the needles 8 times a day, the bruising on my arms and legs, the not eating like I always did.This morning for no reason my BG dropped to 50 and without my BF here I worry I could have gone into a coma or something. Getting this disease was like getting shot in the head. I cant handle such changes in my life. I hate this life.

Dawn, Happy Thanksgiving. I have the same problem with my wrist, I have a huge wrist bone, thats why I prefer the adjustable band. Right now I only have one metal women's style. I am ordering more soon. See below, if you have something more suited for you in mind, describe it or send me a picture of a watch you like. I can see what I can do for you.

- Hi Dawn, Thank you for the inquiry. I can send you a couple of samples. My website should be up within a week. I am just wroking out a few things before it launches. Before I send you a picture of anything, what type of watch do you like to wear? Do you like leather, silver, or cloth band? I'd love it if you decided one of my watches work for you!
