Add me to the list of people who also have this. Sometimes I'll bend over to put my shoes on or something and feel a sharp pain (not very intense) and check to see if my infusion set is being pulled on only to find out it's on the other side of my s…

All the time. I think my body rebels against anything but a normal bloodsugar. I think with tighter control, your body tells you it wants to be in the normal range all the time. Anything but normal bloodsugars makes me feel like crapola, hence I f…

My little Avery

My niece Avery is 4 years old and today I was at her house helping her parents pack up their home to move, way sad, but Avery makes life wonderful.

About a month ago her parents hooked up a little back bike, not sure what it is called, to her mom's bike and she was so scared to try it, but I finally talked her into it and now she can't get enough of it. I finally talked her into it that day and she wanted Auntie Karen to do the front bike riding, but I was really messed up that day emotionally… Continue

Off Topic - SEAMUS :(

My niece and nephew in GA Cameron and Carson lost their 14 year old puppy today, Seamus.

We had many great beach vacations with her as she was always running circles around us when we walked the beach to make sure we were safe. She was a great dog and I will miss her. I saw her a year ago and she was struggling big time, but she still managed to bring me a toy to mess with her.

I had a good reading today too (which actually surprised me because I had eaten 20 grams of carb and forgot to bolus until about an hour after eating), but I knew that I had a ton of insulin on board. So I skipped the exercising. Now I've been cleaning the apartment for about 6 hours. That's enough "exercise" for me".

Hope that you are having a good day!
