Day 138
The only thing that could make High School Musical better would be if there was a diabetic in it.
This rule applies to all movies.
And plays.
And everything in general.
Day 137
So I started sewing my friend’s baby blanket today, and its just so cute and I love it. I’ll post pictures once it’s finished, but I’m seriously so excited!
Day 136
So my doctor is putting me on an ADHD pill soon, but she was worried about it because of ny diabetes, so she told me to get an EKG. Incase you aren’t fluent in ridiculous medical acronyms, and EKG is a very awkward procedure to basically see if your heart is okay. A nurse puts 10 sensors on you. There’s 1 on each arm, 2 on the hip/lower stomach area, and 6 around your heart. This means that you have 6 sensors on your naked cold boob and all you really want is your bra back.
Turns out I’m fine.
Oh, and then I got a diet lemonade from chick fil a, and I quadruple checked that it was in fact diet. So I was sipping on it and not really tasting it to make sure. So I get to school and suck up a massive chunk of sugar.
My day was ruined.
Day 135
All my friends and I were talking about prom at lunch today, and I started thinking about what I would do with my pump for prom. When I first got my pump, my mom always said not to worry about it because prom was so far off (even though it wasn’t). But now it’s here, and I don’t know what to do. I guess I’ll figure it out, but still. And what if my date touches my waist and feels my site or my CGM and is weirded out. That’s always something to worry about. Ugh.
Maybe it won’t be so bad…. If this certain guy asks me…. ;)
Day 134
Sick.
Day 133
My mom heard from the little boys mom that I made the rice crispy treat things for, and not only did he absolutely love them, but his numbers were great afterwords! I honestly couldn’t be any happier! I’m so glad he could eat them and not have to worry about anything! It made my day to hear it.
Day 132
My dad brought home possibly the fattest dinner in the entire world, and I ate so much.
I am completely okay with this.
I would also like to mention my computer is broken (again) and has been for a few days, so no questions will be answered until I get it fixed. Sorry!
Day 131
I had to change my CGM site thing whatever it is tonight, and in pretty sure every bad thing that could happen to me, happened.
So first off, I forgot how to do it. Like, completely blanked. So I called Medtronic and they taught me how to do it. Then, I hang up and go to put on the transmitter, and the sensor is dripping blood. Like, it’s coming out of the hole where the needle comes out, out the sides, everywhere. So I go show my mom and she tells me to call them back. So I took out the sensor because there was obviously something wrong, and called them. They said some bleeding is “normal.” Okay, that was not normal. But whatever. So I put a new one in and it was fine. I just wasted 46 bucks in a stupid sensor that had to bleed all over me. Then, I take my pump site off, because I had to change that too, and it bleeds too. Awesome. So now, I have 2 bandaids on my butt.
Day 130
So my mom’s college roommate called my mom today and started talking to her about a good friend of hers that she grew up with. Her son is 10 and was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He’s mad, he’s nervous, and he’s embarrassed. He doesn’t want anyone to know, and Monday is his first day of school since he was diagnosed. I decided to make him Rice Crispy treats and write the carb count on the top. They’re from Pinterest, so of course they’re not just Rice Crispies and marshmallows. It’s a layer of Rice Crispy treats with peanut butter, a layer if peanut butter fudge with mini Reece’s cups, a layer of normal Rice Crispy treats, and a layer if chocolate. If you go to my about me page, you can find a link to my Pinterest which has this recipe among others (look under food <3). I highly recommend making these and eating the entire batch. They taste like heaven. Anyway, it’s hard when you’re first diagnosed to think that you can eat things like that, but when another diabetic shows you that you can, I think it helps. It’s rough in the beginning, and I think it will take some time until he comes to accept it.
Day 129
I know a lot of people have problems with their CGM when they first get them, but I actually kind of like it. Well, now I like it. Last night, at 9:50, 11:00, 1:10, and 5:40 I didn’t love it. Actually, I hated it. Probably because it decided I really needed to wake up. Oh, and I forgot to mention it also went off at 8:16, 9:00, 10:19, 10:27, and 10:39 this morning, but that was my fault. I didn’t really know how to sync it, so I synced it at the wrong times for my blood sugar and when I still had insulin going and it just wasn’t good. I also had my sensor on the opposite side of my body as my pump, and it didn’t like that. Then it had a sensor error and I have no clue what that means. But it resolved itself, so I can’t worry about it. I’ll read about it later or something.
