Tammi V replied to Doug's discussion 'At What Blood Sugars Do You Feel Your Best / Worst?'
"It is a lot of work. I spend a lot of time working with pump specialists and my endo. I check my sugar 12 times a day which helps."

Tammi V replied to Doug's discussion 'At What Blood Sugars Do You Feel Your Best / Worst?'
"I keep extremely tight control on my sugar levels, so anytime I'm not between 90 and 100 I feel weird. I usually feel my worst, though, when I'm coming up from a low. I get so sick coming up and will even start to blackout. Is that…"

"Also, I think this is the most important thing. Embrace your pump. I've been saddened to hear that many people view there pump as a flaw in their appearance. The pump is just another symbol of your strength. It is an undeniable statement to…"

"I have been on the pump for almost three years now. I have the minimed from Medtronic. I love it. It has made my life much easier, but here are some things to consider: 1. If the infusion set bothers you, call the company. They usually have more…"

21 hours without diabetes!!!

Posted on October 7, 2008 at 3:04pm 11 Comments

Okay, so for any of you who don't know I am a Christian and proud to always speak on God's behalf. For a while, though, I haven't been fully commiting myself to Him and His works and have really felt left behind because of it. Well, on Sunday at church I decided to recommit my life to Christ. For that entire week I had been running really high even with the pump, but I could not for the life of me find anything wrong with my insulin, line, set, or pump! So, Monday night (last night) I really… Continue

Very, very good day!

Okay, so I try to avoid candy as much as possible, because of "bathing suit" season, but last night my boyfriend and I decided to watch a movie, for some reason I let him choose which one (regretting it), so I had some candy. Besides "bathing suit" season, my one big problem with candy is that the carb count is never quite what it says. For instance, 2 sour straws will raise my sugar much higher than they should according to the nutritional information, so I always have to bolus more.… Continue

Thanks for adding me as a friend. You're brave wearing your pump with your bikini...I should be more brave. I've always worn a sarong or skirt to hide it, but it really doesn't look bad at all, seeing it on you, I don't know what i was worried about. Next summer, I'm going to "flaunt" it ;)
