Being Resourceful.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 8:47am 3 Comments

I had plans last night for dinner with friends. (Actually, it's a "book club", but seeing as how I hardly ever get around to reading the books anymore, I consider it more of a "dinner date".) As I sat in my parked car outside of the restaurant, I did a quick blood test. The results weren't surprising, as I had been stuck at that number for several hours: 152.



In the past three hours, I had done four correction boluses - and they seemed to bounce right off of that 152 like it was a…

Why I Love My Teeth.

Posted on January 21, 2011 at 6:46am 1 Comment

There aren't many of us who can say we look forward to a trip to the dentist. The promise of a free toothbrush doesn't quite balance the uncomfortable feeling of someone sticking their fingers under your tongue, scratching your teeth with miniature ice picks, and vacuuming the spit out of your mouth. And then, having to pay for it.



For some, this attitude can be applied to seeing doctors in general - it's not the most pleasant way to spend your time. Those of us who live with… Continue

Real Diabetes.

Getting Vloggy - About My Dexcom.

Posted on January 3, 2011 at 7:29am 0 Comments

I jumped in the deep end this past weekend, so to speak, and recorded my first video blog (vlog).  In it, you'll get to meet Jim the Dexcom CGM, be irritated by the amount of times I say "Um" and "So....", and witness me tearing apart (accidentally) a Dexcom sensor.

Fun times!

You can find the vlog on Texting My Pancreas

Dear one, I LOVE your blog! You have such a great sense of humor as well as being an artist! :-) And I know a little about Nebraska, because I had my first teaching job in Scottsbluff, for 3 years. Rural Nebraska is really culture shock for a girl from Los Angeles!
