- My ongoing issues with my pump sites going bad immediately after inserting and blood bath moments in my bathroom have remained but I have had 2 good sites in a row so that’s encouraging. \u00a0The discouraging part is my insurance won’t budge on my allotment of sites. \u00a0I went through 6 in a weekend. \u00a0I will be completely screwed towards the end of this 3 month prescription and forced to either leave in sites too long or switch back to shots. \u00a0No way Jose. \u00a0I’m an Inset kinda girl. \u00a0I like awesome packaging the doubles as the inserter. \u00a0I like pink and blue sites (I’m totally anti green though. \u00a0TOTALLY). \u00a0Today I was able to try out the Inset 30. \u00a0Things have changed since I used the equivalent version (Silhouettes) back in my MiniMed pumping days. \u00a0Although the needle still looks obnoxiously rude (like it’s going to spew curse words I’ve never even heard at me), there is now an inserter. \u00a0Yeah, I was nervous putting it in but not that pale, sweaty way that used to happen as my hands shook back in my manual insertion days. \u00a0It’s funny though that just looking at this new (well new to me) site took me right back to my first NYC apartment and pep talking myself as my hands shook trying to get those damn sites in. \u00a0So, I am currently wearing my old blue Inset (I can’t risk another blood bath at work. \u00a0Mint green pants and a white lace shirt SO does NOT go with my ruby red blood). \u00a0I also have my Dexcom on my tummy. \u00a0I am one hot stuff robot lady today. \u00a0Woo Wee. (I can’t show the Dexcom because \u00a0I’m keeping SurfaceFine PG… well for today).\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\n

- I have finally finished my JDRF Walk letter. \u00a0I wrote an earlier version that I tried out on a few people last week. \u00a0It had one of 2 reactions. \u00a0It either made people cry, like really cry and hug me or TOTAL radio silence. \u00a0Like no email, text, IM silence. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0My new letter is a bit long but it touches on what I think is important. \u00a0Once I clean it up a bit, I’ll post it here.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- I need to stop cussing so much. \u00a0I’m not sure if this is diabetes related or not. \u00a0F*ck Diabetes? \u00a0Yeah, totally diabetes related. \u00a0Oh and PG is over now.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Busy, busy, busy so a quick update (also I have another post after this one): I never finished the post about my eye doctor appointment. \u00a0So here’s the short summary. \u00a0I am fine. \u00a0I took lots of pics at the … Continue reading
