Clockwise from top left: Imagine my surprise when I received a thank you gift from Excedrin in the mail!  I was a little confused about the part that thanks me for my “patience”. Was there an Excedrine shortage or something?  Maybe it’s thanks for being patient during a migraine for the Excedrin to kick-in (like I have any other choice)?  Any way you look at it, it’s nice to get free stuff.  If any diabetes device or pharmaceutical companies are listening, I like free, surprise, thank you gifts.

I’ve had 2 days and 3 nights of too many low bgs.  Last night I had the actual LOW reading on my Dexcom.  It was scary, it was there for a really long time, and even when I started to come up, it was snail-pace slow.  I joked yesterday that Glucolift tablets are becoming a food group in my world.  The real joke is… I’m not joking.

Happy Blue Friday!  New blue shirt, blue Dexcom and sort-of bluish glasses.

What do you think that last photo is from?  Awful finger prick?  A girl who’s using a very blunt lancet?  Nope, got my finger tip caught between and anvil and a rubber mallet the other night.  It really does look like a D injury though doesn’t it? Gotcha!

Happy Friday!

From Top Left: Another pump site, another bruise.  This was earlier in the week but I had a site change this morning and once again… another site, another bruise.  This is starting to become my norm.  Site worked great though.  At least the bruises are small and this isn’t bikini weather!

Blood glucose check where an old pricked spot bleeds along with the new one.  there’s a cartoonish like quality to that, as if I will drink a glass of water and my (bruised) pump sites will look like a sprinkler.

New diabetes themed-used-Verio IQ-test strip jewelry.  The reaction this from the non-D crowd has been kind of awesome.  love hearing what people “think” the material is.  My account (T2) took a minute and guessed it correctly.

I woke-up on Thursday to this view.  Remote control, Glucolift (Wildberry is my fave) container (empty), Dexcom G4 reciever, Froggie, and my pooch (with creeptastic looking eyes in this pic).  A strange Wednesday night snuggle-fest indeed.
