Many of us have been a-twitter about World Diabetes Day, bringing attention to the epidemic proportions of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and the Big Blue Test. Seattle had a bike ride as did Victoria, BC. Philadelphia had an event at the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. Those of us in the New York City area celebrated with a huge D-Meetup and pizza party. The indefatiguable Allison set things up in a Midtown office building. At its peak, over 20 Type 1s, Type 2s, and Type 3s gathered to enjoy each other's company and take part in the Big Blue Test.

A box within a box within a box within a box.
Sometimes, that's the best description of my, your, or anyone else's diabetes.
The big box is Diabetes itself.
The next box is the "Type" box. Usually only two of them fit into the large case, but some folk will cram in two or more smaller boxes ("Gestational", "LADA", "MODY", and others) as well.

I really cannot believe that the year is already coming to a close. When I look back, I feel so old...wondering where the time has gone and knowing that I'll never get it back. It seems like just yesterday I was enjoying the feel of the summer months with its easy going and warm nights. Now, 2009 is at its end and we're starting an entirely new decade. So where did 2009 go?
In January, I got my wisdom teeth removed and learned that letting go of my diabetes wasn't the end of the world. at least when into the hands of trusted doctors with type 1 themselves. Little did I know that having my wisdom teeth removed and undergoing that sedative would prepare me for what would come in November.

My endo appointment went quite well today. I showed up early to complete my new patient paperwork, waited a few minutes, and ran through the usual blood pressure, weight, and so on. The nurse was nice.
Their meter showed 168, about an hour and a half after a meal. The nurse didn't seem to judge, although in my eyes 168 looks pretty darn perfect so what's there to judge? They downloaded my meter's information and printed out some charts (I couldn't even believe it!). And soon enough, the doctor was coming in to sit down with me.
She let me do most of the talking, looked at my numbers, and seemed on board with what I was saying. She understood the stress I'm under and how that's affecting my numbers. She also took interest in my already diagnosed PCOS, which definitely affects my blood sugars.

I had my second appointment with my endo today. The first was back in late June when my A1c wasn't anywhere close to where I'd like it (clocking in at 9.1%). Today's appointment went well and I'll know my latest A1c in a few days. The doctor feels like it should be down and to keep trying to do what I'm doing with a little extra help.
She is the kind of doctor who offers advice if needed, but ultimately understands that diabetes is a very individual disease and my management may be different than others. She does not seem to be concerned with higher A1cs, which is a little troubling as I know the best A1c is certainly not in the 8 or 9% range for a 20-something year old.
