It’s there when my sleepy hands reach out from underneath the comforter and connect with my meter case. It’s there when my eyes close at night.

It’s there when I look at wedding dresses, imagining…

First of all, I have to say that I love my pink ultra mini! It's super fab! =o)

Yesterday, after swimming, I rushed to my educational psychology class (which is ultra boring!). About 40 minutes into the class, I felt like I was going low, so I tested with my pink ultra mini (which I love... did I say that?!). I opened the vial of strips with my left hand, pricked with my right hand, put blood on the little strip and waited. 5..4..3..2..1.. 29! WHAT!?! Should I feel worse? Is this…

I was first diagnosed with gestational diabetes when I was 27 and pregnant with my 2nd child. Not even 6 months after he was born I was type 2.

Things got tricky when we arrived home with our 18-month old daughter in December. I was chasing after her and doing a horrible job of catching my drops. We talked about the CGM and were…

So I’m on vacation, starting a book called “24 Hours” by Greg Iles. In the first few pages we learn that the five-year-old in the story has Type 1 diabetes. Naturally I roll my eyes, thinking that there will be so many inaccuracies I will not be able to stick…

I was diligent and studied my butt off for the darned thing but still flunked it.

If you have ever had one you know how much fun they are. If you haven't had one chances are about 1/3 if you are over 60 and have diabetes that you will have one. I don't want to give you the answers but here are some hints.

Bring a good book. Once it is your turn to get wired up about 930 or so they attach (in my case) 20 probes to various parts of my body. I mean all over the place.
