Over the weekend, I had a low blood sugar in the middle of the night that left me feeling like I had been beaten soundly and left in a ditch. (Covered in petrol, a la Eddie Izzard.)
It was a strange experience, though, because the "low hangover" feeling was neatly accompanied by a feeling of guilt. This low wasn't one that came out of no where and smacked up upside the head. This low was the result of a miscalculation while I was at dinner. (READ MORE)

So, just between me and you, where was the strangest place you've ever done it? While scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef? On the observation deck of the Empire State Building? While getting a tattoo? At a baby's christening? While milking a cow?
For me, it was on the highest point of a slowly moving Ferris wheel on a steamy night in August. Man, that was one, hot night.
As we crept higher and higher, Charlie felt lower and lower.
Come on, people! Let's keep it clean. I'm talking about the strangest place you've ever tested your blood sugar! Sheesh!
As many of you know all too well, lows don't play fair. They don't wait until the ride is over. They just strike when they damn well please. (READ MORE)

Three days, or until the insulin is all used up - that is how long an OmniPod is to be worn for. Before pumping, I was unsure if the scheduled three day replacement interval was going to be a nuisance. I even pondered the idea of trying to sneak in an extra day on the pods- so long as there was enough insulin stowed away in them. Well, that notion, along with a little of my patience, consistently scurries away when I near the end of a pod cycle, and the three day itch sets in. (READ MORE)

Some days, my diabetes control is like a sleek, hot-pink BMX. It takes me for smooth, yet daring rides and lets me, in the words of Napoleon Dynamite "take it off some sweet jumps."
What's great is having several of those days in a row - as I've had lately. Only two or three bloodsugars out of range - and even those were mere blips - a 62, a 159... Nothing outrageous. That's when I start to get comfortable. I settle in for the ride, enjoy the air on those jumps. (READ MORE)

Which would you like to hear first? I guess I'll start with the bad news and get my whining out of the way first. The scale is up this week. Granted it's only half a pound, but the frustrating part is I have been working so hard at this. I've been following Weight Watchers faithfully since Thanksgiving and I've only lost about 2 and a half pounds. What's worse is I'm starting to begrudge people at the meeting who lose more than that each week. Selfish, isn't it?
In reviewing my diet, exercise and lifestyle, I'm even more annoyed because I'm eating less food (and healthier food, at that), exercising more, drinking water and even getting more sleep than I had been. But I'm still not losing. What do I need to do? I'm open to all suggestions, except "be patient." I don't do well with patience. (READ MORE)

I must be more than just playing around with the idea of a pump because I actually emailed my endo about it today.
I don't know why I feel funny about this, why I feel like me having a pump is overkill. Maybe because I'm "only" type 2, maybe because I'm not even three years into my diagnosis.
I shouldn't feel funny about it. I am reading more and more that insulin therapy for people with type 2 diabetes is being introduced earlier. Yes, I'm already on insulin and have been so since roughly three months after I was diagnosed. So what's the difference if I'm taking my insulin from shots or from a pump? (READ MORE)
