Back in March, I wrote a post about my top five diabetes habits that needed to be changed. I'm curious to see how I've progressed in the last four months. I haven't made a conscious effort to truly change, but I have kept these things in the back of my mind. So here goes:

Throughout my diabetes life, I've developed some bad habits. I'm a perfectionist and hate having them linger over my diabetes. I've decided that I need to break these bad habits if I truly want to excel on my pump and in life. I'm at a point where I realize all the great things I'm looking forward to: establishing a career, starting a family, building my dream home. I don't want to miss one second of my future because I made poor decisions with my diabetes. So I'm challenging myself to make a list of the five habits of my diabetes life and work on curbing each one: (READ MORE)

I am not doing what I should be doing to take care of my diabetes. I don't check often enough. I snack without bolusing. I never log anymore. I'm being a real slacker.
It isn't that I don't have TIME for this disease. Yes, I work part time. I attend graduate school full time. And I have a lot of other responsibilities like a very needy cat, a great boyfriend, and managing the usual parts of life. But I have time to check my blood sugar, take an injection, and log some numbers every week. I could be doing that right now instead of blogging and watching TV.
The thing is that I don't have the ENERGY for this disease. I stopped having the energy somewhere between year ten and twelve. A decade of diabetes wore me out. And almost two decades really has me down. It just isn't what I want to be doing on a cold, rainy Tuesday night. Especially when I have a slight headache and my eyes just want to close.

When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I read everything I could get my hands on about it. The fear of complications kept me in line. In fact, when faced with the temptation of cookies and cake, the phrase "blindness, dialysis and amputation" helped me walk away with not so much as a taste.
I guess that's why I took it so hard when my vision started blurring recently. At my post-pregnancy opthalmalogist visit, my eyeglass prescription had changed so much in the last six months, the doctor suggested checking again in a few months instead of getting a new prescription now. He explained my recent high blood sugars (thanks to that third attempt at diet and exercise "control") had temporarily distorted my vision. There are no signs of perminent damage, yet. Get my sugars under tighter control for a two to three months and we'll check again. (READ MORE)
