Well, Saturday we celebrated Jacob's 5th birthday party. We had the Mad Scientist come and do science expierments for an hour. I followed up at the end of the party by making fake Snow from Steve Spangler's website and the always popular Diet Coke/Mentos expierment.

Jacob had excellent BS throughout his whole party. I don't know what we would do without his pump. He had a huge piece of cake just like everyone else. The look on his face when I set his cake down in…

We went to a town fair today and Noah tried his hand at the rock climbing wall.

He was a little nervous at first, but we all cheered him on.

Woo hoo!!! (notice his pump holstered on his belt!)

Don't ever let anyone tell you something's not possible because you have…

Those who know us from CWD probably remember my ramblings and agonizing over which pump to put Adin on. I really thought we would put Adin on the Omnipod once it was available in CA but what became more important then the tubeless aspect for us was the ability to connect with a cgm. Adin isn't all that verbal being that he is only 2 and completely hypoglycemic unaware so the minimed with cgm became our pump of…

Honestly, when I log into my homepage, I get tired of that little message that says I haven't posted any blogs yet. So...now I have. :)

I will say this - I am soo glad that I found this site. I've never felt all alone in my diabetes, becasue I know there are thousands who live with this every day. However, I was caught up in my own little Type I world and I truly did not realize that we are in the minority when it comes to diagnosed cases.

Now, don't get me wrong, I…

I just took a look at all of you great people who invited me to be friends- and I realized that I am not alone anymore.

Thanks.

I was just curious as to how people keep track of their blood sugars. In the old days, I had a binder that I would carry with me and enter in readings, before each meal. Now, I am lucky to jot down two days in a row in my Franklin Covey. But that isn't ideal, either- I like to see everything in a table format- so I can track trends, etc.

I have this- dream, I guess- where I can put my readings into a big spreadsheet, and do all sorts of calculations, averages, etc., and perhaps even…

Now all that Diet Coke I drink is good for me right? :-)

Diet Coke "Plus" - Diet Coke with Vitamins & Minerals! I'm a bit scared by the names of these "vitamins and minerals" though:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
• Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6)
• Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)
• Acesulfame Pottassium

I just…

First off, there's that Amtrak Incident. Are these people serious? Ditching a passenger in the woods? A diabetic one, to boot? And admitting this isn't the first time they've ditched people in the woods? Ridiculous. Thank goodness he's been found.

Secondly, my third day as a Dexcom Warrior is chronicled over at Six Until Me.…
