I love amazon! I always go there when I find a book I want and buy it used if I can for around a dollar. I got some books recently and they are think like a Pancreas by Gary Scheiner and College Rules by Sherrie Nist-Olejnik and Jodi Holschuh. I have really loved both books both of which I have heard from other people, and today when I finally got my College Rules I was looking at the and realized this is college prep for a diabetic.

This of course doesn't even count the countless…

A few days ago I posted on my blog The Juice Box Diaries about how I’ve struggled with self-confidence when it comes to body image. Through weight gains, losses, and a bit of an unhealthy outlook towards what it means to be beautiful, I’ve spent over 10 years dreaming of the…

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear having diabetes, fear the struggle that it may bring me in walking this life and in this system - fear being susceptible to the highs and lows of blood sugar levels, fear having to deal with the constant that is me being a diabetic,…

Part 1 is on the blog as well as a few other posts that I forgot to post here as well. Thanks for reading guys.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that there is a correlation between coming down from a spell of happiness within a reaction of fear and…

This post is from my blog, The Juice Box Diaries. There are several pictures that go along with it so I encourage you to pop over and see the original post if you have a chance! Also, just to preface this so you understand without the context of my site, you should know that next to…

I wrote a post on my blog The Juice Box Diaries about my experience at the Walk to Cure Diabetes yesterday in St. Louis, MO. I'd love to share that blog here, however, the original post has some great pictures that I'd love for y'all to see. So, instead I'm just going to post the link here so feel free to…

http://paulsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/10/day-176-diabetic-epidemic.html

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see that there will be a diabetic epidemic arising in the world due to the amount of sugar that we consume within the products that we buy and our sedentary lifestyle, causing the pancreas to become overworked and having the hormone of insulin become…

I'm 26 weeks today! Baby boy is a kicking fool.

After about a month and 1/2 of wrangling my boluses and basals I FINALLY have them working for me! My averages, courtesy of the Ping meter are a doctor's dream, or at least not a nightmare.

7 Day: 122

14 Day: 128

30 Day: 135

60 Day: 146

I'm happy with these as they're pretty REAL, with hardly any highs or lows to skew the numbers. But, as everyone…

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that there is an overload of sugar that is being added to our food for us to `enjoy`, but the starting point has not been enjoyment, the starting point of adding all this sugar has been for profit without the consideration of the human physical body and the nutrients that it needs, and in this I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize the correlation between the amount of sugar within our…

http://paulsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/09/day-153-perceiving-diabetes-as-weakness.html

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to define diabetes as being weak and define myself as being weak wherein I want to hide the disease from all other people so that they do not find out that I am weak and then `pounce` on the subject and me; constantly living in fear…

http://paulsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/09/day-144-insulin-sensitivity-sedentary.html

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that if I am not active during the day there is going to be a lack of assistance from physical activity to support the transfer of sugar within the blood stream to the cells and therefore I am going to need more insulin…

I was recently going through my downloaded items and junking things out when I came across this picture. The graphic is a little odd personally but the message is poignant.
