Last week when I emailed my human resources rep about how to interpret the information I got from customer service about what is covered in regard to an insulin pump, the last thing I expected to hear was that as of Jan. 1 we'd have a new insurance company.
I really didn't think much of the insurance switch at the time. In fact, I never really have had such a vested interest in my insurance company until now. The biggest obstacle I saw when S. told me of the switch was that I might not get the same deal on an insulin pump as the customer service guy told me I could get. (READ MORE)

My blood sugar is currently at 384. I just stare at the number. My mind trying not to fathom what those digits represent. I checked my blood sugar because I wanted to enjoy the cookie that I saved from dinner. Now I stare at this cookie, taunting me, telling me how my life is going to be. It looks so yummy with its million chocolate chips and golden brown hue. But those numbers tell me that my cookie will have to wait. (READ MORE)

Perhaps I'm pushing the envelope a little too much here, but personally, I don't think so! Were all adults here,..RIGHT!? Although sex may not be one of our biggest concerns as diabetics, it certainly is just one more thing we have to think about.

I was searching around in my head for different things to write about today and then all of the sudden this video popped into my head. I also got the inspiration for this post after I injected 15 units of fast acting insulin and, well, let's just say the mood hit.

I bet that if you're reading this you have had at least one experience with hypoglycemia while "in the moment". Am I wrong? Of course not, it's a part of life and being diabetic that's not very fun. (caution kids, it gets more awkward)

I love to cook. In the spring and summer, I like to try out different salads. In the fall and winter months, my kitchen is brimming with bubbling pots of soups and stews. So today, with a dusting of snow on the ground and football on the TV, it seemed like the perfect day to make chili.
Ever since I was diagnosed with diabetes--and especially now that I'm that I'm trying to lose weight--healthy cooking has become a priority. I've learned a few tricks for keeping full on the fewest calories and carbs, like drinking lots of water, substituting a relaxing cup tea for dessert and filling up on lots of veggies. (READ MORE)
