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)

Remember that song that the Red Hot Chili Peppers covered? Roller Coaster of Love? I always think of Olivia's crazy blood sugars when I hear that song. And this week, that song has been on a permanent loop in my head.

Starting on Saturday, Olivia's blood sugar never got below 168. She mentioned that she was running high, but I didn't download her pump information until Monday. That's when I saw exactly how high she'd been running. It wasn't pretty.

She had a high of 527. Most of her blood sugars were hovering around the 300 mark. This was exacerbated by the fact that, once again, she's been neglecting to test and put the blood sugar reading into her pump. On Saturday, there were only 2 readings in the pump. Everything else was just a bolus for carb intake.

My job interview went well. I think very well. I am getting more and more excited about having the opportunity to work with this organization. I am still holding out on the name of the company for certain reasons. In due time though, I will be able to share with everyone. In the mean time, it's time for a little VACATION!!! My girlfriend and I are heading down to Florida for a few days and WE CAN'T WAIT! We will be soaking up some major sun rays, relaxing on the beach, and maybe even flying through the air on some bad-AS* roller coasters!

I get frustrated every day. Diabetes is making me feel like I am semi-losing my mind. I literally have to ask myself everyday, "Am I losing it"? To be honest with you it is scaring me a little. My sugars are all over place. Is this blood sugar roller coaster "normal" for those people out there who are doing "good" with diabetes?

I would like to pose a question to you if you're reading this right now and you are a person with type 1 diabetes and take daily insulin injections. If you have an A1C of 6 or lower, how often are your sugars in the 200's... if ever?

Having played roller hockey for many years now, I have acquired a lot of hours on my inline hockey skates. Well, after two rink closures this past year, I have had some gaps in my playing time. (READ MORE)

I recently started working a part time job at a big box store (you know the one - red, bullseye, waaaaay nicer than Wally World).  The job is OK - not challenging at all, but it's extra money and we need it.  And until I can make the big bucks from sitting on my couch reading books, this will do.

 

C. is one of the girls I work with.  She's very nice; friendly and helpful to the newbie (that'd be me).  I noticed she had a Medic Alert bracelet on but I didn't want to ask what it was for.  I'm never sure what the proper etiquette is with that - do you ask and embarrass the other person?  Do you not ask and run the risk of missing some vital sign that the person is getting ill?  Anyone know?

It's always interesting to meet fellow diabetics in person. It doesn't happen all that often to me, but occasionally I will bump into someone and find out they are diabetic too. Being a pumper has definitely changed that awareness (because you know all diabetics can spot a fellow pumper from miles away!).

 

Over the summer, I went in to have a microdermabrasion procedure (trying to get rid of the post-acne marks from the PCOS) at a local doctor's office. My new patient forms asked the usual questions: pre-existing conditions, prescriptions, etc. So I marked the normal things: diabetic, PCOS, on humalog, etc. and moved on.

It's safe to say that my blood sugar has been on a roller coaster lately. Actually, it's safer to say I've been at the diabetes theme park over the past, say, two months. Just when I think I have my high blood sugars figured out, I start getting in range again. Which is great, but equally frustrating.
The other day--right around the time I stopped taking Byetta and switched back to Novolog--I noticed myself getting snippy with my family for no reason. I checked the calendar for the day I had last started my period and then counted forward 33 days. Yep, I was just seven days away from that oh-so-happy time. This was also the day I noticed that I seemed to be running lower than I thought I should be. Frankly, I chalked it up to not using Byetta anymore and being able to accurately manage my carb intake with the Novolog. (READ MORE)
