Laziness

For the past week my blood sugar has been nowhere near where i want it to be. This is because of one thing, laziness. Its something that comes all too easy to those of us with diabetes as far as checking our BG (blood glucose) levels and giving insulin. For example, last night i was starving but i had showered and taken off my pump and now i couldnt find it. So after i couldn't find it after 30 seconds, I just went down to the dining hall without it. Smart? no. Lazy? yes. As a diabetic you have to constantly think about your health and what the long term consequences of your actions are. And as an 18 year old college student... that is not as easy as it sounds.

Woohoo!

This year for the Walk to Cure Juveniles diabetes I raised $725 towards finding a cure! This is totally thanks to all my friends and family for donating money to my cause, and I would have never been able to do it without them! They always find a way to pull through for me!

Sick : (

Personally, i feel like everything that can happen to a person healthwise is always magnified when you have diabetes. Unfortunately, today i am sick. i guess its just a bad cold but still... I have currently been in bed all day. I have not eaten, nor checked my blood sugar, nor given insulin. I know i need to, but when the choice comes down to staying right here in my bed or getting up to do anything... i think ill just stay here.

Walk to Cure Diabetes

This past week was the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's annual Walk to Cure Juvenile Diabetes. Unfortunately, I was unable to partcipate this year because it was the morning of the UNC vs. Duke football game... but with much regret. Every year we do this we bring my dogs out and get to eat, hangout and see old friends. They have tons of information on new kinds of equipment (pumps, glucometers etc.) which is really nice. I was disapointed that I wasn't able to go this year, but it was just to hard to miss the big game!
