blahh

Ive been in this blah mood for the past few days and I have no idea how to get out of it. It just seems like I am sick of everything. Sick of diabetes , sick of school ( eventhough it was the first day today), sick of everything... I am in a rut.. thats an understatement .. I dont know if it was because last year around this same time this date actually ... my boyfriend of over 2years told me out of nowhere that there was "someone else" and eventhough i am completly over it now god trust me i am so much happier and i have met some amazing people since then ... it still upsets me and i think because it happened around this time.. to make matters worse he started going out with this other girl not only a month after he dumped me but on my birthday Valentines day... what a day .. i am a beleiver that everything happens for a reason so it all happend for a reason... anyway sorry i needed to get that out... it snowed today i love the snow its so pretty... but its freezing.... it's been a LONG day so bed time

Remember Me?

Finally I got this to work. So much has happened since the last post. Christmas and New Years has come and gone. Let me try and think what has happened.

My pump broke on Christmas Eve. I was changing my site and it said motor error. So I called MiniMed and there was nothing we could do to fix it. Since it was Christmas Eve they were closed on Christmas and wouldn't reopen until Tuesday meaning I wouldn't get my pump until Wed. You don't realize how much you rely on the pump it made me realize how much I really do love it. A little piece of advice if you don't already do it.. write down your basils so when the pump wont let you look at them you are golden.

In other pump news I started the week of Thanksgiving so it hasn't even been 3months and before the pump my A1C was 8.8 (somewhere around there) and NOW!!! it's 7.0 yay!! I was so excited i cant wait to go back and see how much more its gone down. Plus i cant get over how i feel 100 times better then before.

In work news we just got a awesome grant with a lot of money so i am golden so i don't have to worry about not being kept on for money issues.

I'm back :)

Freezing!!!

So finally I created a blog! YAYY!! Just a few things to warn you about...

I can not spell to save my life so work with me spelling was not one of my Strong points at all! So as you might have already read I just started the pump the week of Thanksgiving and let me tell you did my little fingers work a lot that day ... had a bit to much pie! But i counted everything and didn't have one high blood sugar all day long... GO ME! It's so funny I get all excited when I have a good blood sugar any my non- diabetic friends don't understand the happiness! Anywho getting back to my pump it's a MiniMed 522 I have become very attached to it already. It feels like I have had it forever.. good i guess. Oh yeah so getting to my point... just in case you ha vent realized that I jump around to different topics... i need to try not to do that .. I need to name my pump I have decided that it deserves a name and since its attached to me 24/7 that it needs a name!

Hi Everyone

I am in my second year in college and I hope to be a Social Worker or to become a CDE. I recently started on the insulin pump. I chose MiniMed and let me tell you I have only had a few problems but other than that I LOVE the pump. More stories to come :)
