Anything that gets delivered to our home in the form of a box or a large envelope sets the children into a carnal frenzy. They stand beside it jubilantly and crazy-eyed like cavemen around a first fire.
A food scale is something we always planned on getting but just never did. I always wondered, though, how close we were with our guesstimates.
Before I even finished reading the brief manual, Charlie had already determined the total weight of three storm trooper figures, a bar of soap, my car keys and his little brother's tongue.

Being sick sucks. Right now my body aches, my head hurts, my ears feel like they have plugs in them, and I feel out of it. The good news though is my sugars aren't out of whack,.which really is the only thing I would be concerned about. Actually, with this new outlook I've been having, my sugars have been fantabulous. It's the funniest, yet most simple and ridiculous, concept with this disease. Ready for it? Here it is,..watch what you eat. Isn't that crazy?! I know it sounds bizarre, but it's true.
And yeah I realize life happens and with it all comes things that affect our sugar. Stress, joy, sadness, adrenaline, and the list goes on and on, you name it,
But really, if you somewhat obsess over what it is you put into your body then you can control your sugars. Yeah, it might mean that you have no life and that all you do is sit at home and watch movies or play on the computer, but you really CAN control your sugars.

There are some things I just don't get. Like why I've gained 2 lb. since starting my exercise goal for this month.
The first six weeks on Byetta I lost 4 lb. without exercise or really any adjustment in my diet. Now that I'm exercising and making more of an effort to cut out the junk in my diet, I've gained 2 lb. What the heck is up with that?
OK, I know it's been less than a week since I started walking (six days in fact, and I had to skip one day), but seriously why isn't the weight just melting off me yet? Imagine my disappointment when I jumped on the scale after having walked two or three days in a row (not to mention barely eating at a number of meals) to see that I had gained weight! (READ MORE)

I am up 1 pound from a month ago. I've been up as high as 3 pounds and as low as 2 pounds down. Truth be told, it's more like 6 weeks I have been doing this yo-yo trick up and down that 5 pound range.
I've been fairly good about logging my food. The days that the log stops at lunch are the problem. The afternoon snack attacks are sabotaging my efforts. I feel helpless to stop them. It's really detrimental to be feeling this way. (READ MORE)

I've mostly noticed it when I'm standing in front of the bathroom mirror. There's this distinctive pudge that pooks out from my shirts; sometimes I feel like I look six months pregnant. I can't figure out if I'm imagining this pudge or if it's actually there.
I periodically get on the scale to see where I am, to sort of put things in perspective. I was getting on the scale almost once a day (yes, I know that's not the best way, but I do it anyway because I'm curious) after I restarted my walking program. I got incredibly frustrated with Byetta not really working and with gaining and losing the same 4 lb. in the course of several months. I was close to tossing the scale out the window. (READ MORE)

I've been a very good girl this year and my wants are few. But, Santa, you know my fondness for things that go beep, bing and buzz, the little frisson of excitement I get at the thought of an LCD or a digital readout. With that in mind, here are a few diabetes-related gadgets I would love to have under the tree this year:
A Salter Travel Scale. It's a snip at $30 and sure would come in handy when we're out and about. And it would slip into my pocketbook quite easily. And it's really freakin' cool.

This weekend was a busy one. Typically we are busy folk. It seems there is always an event, party, meeting, or whatnot to attend. This weekend was no different.
I had a happy and successful start to Saturday with a loss on the old Weight Watchers scale. The weather was perfect which was both bitter and sweet since most of the country is having horrible weather. But living in Southern California has its definite pluses and minuses. The next stop was a friends Baby Shower in which all the guys were going to hang out at the house with the dad-to-be as the gals had the shower somewhere else. (READ MORE)

I'm in the middle of preparing a presentation for my computer user group on "Connected Medical Devices" -- that is to say, durable medical equipment that has the ability to connect to a smartphone, a computer, or the Internet for the purpose of maintaining a log of data points, keeping track of one or more patients' health, or helping one manage his own health.

My endo last week told me that weight gain was just a simple matter of calories in and calories out. I brought in my concern that I'd gained about eight pounds in the last three months without changing diet or exercise excessively. I worked really hard to lose weight last year, I don't want to start seeing the scale creep up and feel out of control.
But apparently, it's just a simple matter of calories in and calories out.
I just don't believe her. I know she has a point. That yes, weight gain often happens when you are consuming more than you are expending. But that isn't the entire picture...especially for insulin dependent diabetics.

This morning in the shower I tried to plan out what I would wear today. Brown capri pants, for sure, I thought. They are comfy and roomy. The shirt I wanted to wear, though, was waded up on a shelf. Seriously, I'm not in high school anymore, why don't I put my clean clothes away?
Anyway. The brown capris felt a little loose and looked pretty baggy as I looked myself over in the mirror. Hmph, I thought. Maybe the black capris would be better; I'm just not feeling this brown thing today.
Same deal with the black capris, but I was running out of time -- and clothing options -- so I went with the black ones. Whatever, I'm a desk jockey so I can live with it.
But the more I moved around the more I realized that my pants were actually too big! Not just a little loose, but like a size or two too big.
