- You will love the DexCom if you get it. It isn't 100% accurate but heck if you have hypo unawareness like I do, anything is helpful! Any CGMS you get has its pros and cons but all in all is worth the trouble!

I was recommended the Dexcom 7 or the Navigator. I am *totally* new to any type of diabetic equipment - let alone the disease. ;-) I was use to seeing my mom test and give herself shots, so I was ok with doing that when I was diagnosed with T1. However, now that I have a toddler and we are alone fo… Continue

Fell off the water train
So about a month ago I told myself that I would drink *at least* 4 cups of water a day. I was doing really good for about a week... then I don't know what happend.... we might have ran low on water at home... don't know... but I fell off the water train.
Alright, so what am I going to do now? Get back on it! I put my water bottle in the freezer tonight, so I got a nice and cold fresh bottle of water in the morning.
I felt so much better when I was drinking all the water. I know my body… Continue

Medical ID Bracelet

I wanted to get one for my birthday.. but that's already passed, and I don't want to wait much longer and go without having some kind of alert charm on me.
Trying not to go for the "whoah you have a problem - at all times" bracelet, but one that says "somethings wrong with her now, and check it out, she h… Continue
