Taking care of my pearly whites (aka George Hamilton)

Well, it was my regular 8 month clean up for my teeth yesterday and as usual I was told to floss my teeth more often and massage my gums (Oh Calgon take me away). Of course, I did the flossing the night before - but that's a lame excuse - it should be done daily. I think sometimes with having diabetes, having to take this med and that med that I let things drop. Luckily for me, I only have a… Continue

A bent cannula does wonders for infusing insulin .... NOT

Even though I've had diabetes for so long - I still feel like I am learning new ways of handling my diabetes at times. Especially since going onto the insulin pump. For example, on the weekend I experienced an interesting scare of high blood sugars - only for a period of 8 hours mind you - but it wasn't something that I'm used to - as I tend to keep my blood sugars pretty stable with or without an insulin pump.

TSA and Swine Flu

I was going to blog about my fun experience with TSA yesterday at Orlando-Sanford Airport - where I was treated like a potential terrorist (I don't get treated this way anywhere else except in the United States - every other country lets me go thru' with my pump and insulin supplies with a simple nod). Anyway, since getting off the phone with my Dad - I've decided to change my direction of thoughts.

If you want to read more of my trials and tribulations - check out the rest of my… Continue

I posted this blog the other day - and the reply from this other Type1 diabetic that also blogs on the website - well - sort of took my breath away with her reply (not sure how to respond to her without getting kicked back in the face so to speak). Well - if we all tried to attain the A1C's she has (5.1%) - none of us would being getting pregnant IMHO!!! Have a read - and let me know what you think - either here on Tudiabetes -… Continue

The Easter Bunny is NOT evil ...

Okay - I think in the beginning I thought of the Easter Bunny as looking like the character from Donnie Darko - but I'm thinking of changing my mind of that vision now.

Easter Sunday arrived - hippity hop, hippity hop - I remembered that I had hidden a few more Easter goodies (we already consumed the Easter Egg "designer" jelly beans the day before). For some reason - I think what I should be calling "evil" is my insulin pump - since I don't think I've ever maintained such level BG's… Continue
