Yesterday's endo and CDE appointments left me with plenty of new techniques that I'm ready to put into practice. Even though my A1c finally bumped from 7.3% (which I'd been stuck at with the pump for over 6 months) to a 7.1%, I know that I can do better. And despite the better A1c, I'm not seeing the types of patterns that I prefer to see. So here are all the tips that I'm setting into motion over the next weeks.

Diabetes is a roller coaster. Sometimes it's amazing. Sometimes it's scary. Sometimes it's excruciating. A good roller coaster has ups and downs, twists, turns and unexpected adventures. Roller coasters vary in speed, style, form and build. Diabetes has the same twists and turns, the same diversity. (READ MORE)
