Diabetes 365

As some of you may know from a previous post

I am attempting the

Diabetes 365 project

by taking a photo every day

related to or something to do with my diabetes. 

I seem to never forget to find someone, or want to use this

and here it is. 

I'm almost one month in and can't wait to 

find out what

all happens in month two!!!

You can see my flicker account

here's some photos..

Just in case you care to know..

2nd weekend I'll be fundraising for

Pump.. Pump it up...

Pump up the jam

pump it up

why you're feet are stompin

Anyone else get the Salt n Pepa in your head now?

 I hope so. 

Not that i'm jumping up and down

per say

but I did get news today that

MY PUMP

 

This one to be exact

including the color

is what I will be wearing.. Soon.. very very soon. 

Medtronic has been calling me all week letting me know 

the status of my delivery

the price

and how this delivery will go. 

I will be getting my 3month supply, 

the CGM sensor's as of right now I will get 3 months

but I will have to only get 1 month supply at a time

why, 

who the heck knows..

I think it's stupid. But who am I. 

I'm happy for flexibility, 

and i'm semi- terrified. 

I know why I need to do this, I know this will help

but knowing that I don't mind using my

Humulin and Novolog 

doesn't bother me. 

I'm the person that HATES things on my skin. 

Band Aids- No 

Wraps- NO

Stickers- NO

Tape- Hate it

I do not know how I will deal with not being able to pull it out,

but I need to do this and I will. 

We'll see how long it lasts. 

Either I really enjoy it 

and my fears are swept away

or i do it for the sake

of trying it

and after a period of time

I stop using it. 

I really don't want to stop though

because the money involved to make this happen

and trust me I"m not making millions over here

means i really NEED to do this. 

Okay Body.. let's give this a try!

I find out soon, hopefully, when my start up week is

and pray for me this works, and

i'm not too miserable. 

when you talk and people don't listen...

So in the preparation of the pump

I have been tirelessly 

writing down 

every.

single

thing

I'm

putting in my body. 

ANNOYING. 

So as I am happy to follow through with this

and write everything down like

a good girl

I go in to see the dietitian. 

I'm not sure if i woke up on the wrong side of the bed,

she was a little too "rough" for me

or what

but let's say I didn't feel too good 

having her rip my food charts to 

pieces.

 She made comments about this, that, 

why I have 1% milk and not Skim,

or how did i judge Grinder's bread

compared to my fiber rich super low calorie bread at home.

Or why did you give your banana 15g of carbs here

but here you gave 11g? 

And then proceeded to ask me multiple questions

on why I don't measure using a scale. 

ugghh..

I'm pretty sure I chugged my bottle of water and then refilled it 

in the hall so i stopped myself from talking

as I was getting annoyed. 

She then seemed to get the hint as she told me 

that maybe she is misunderstanding me.

She then told me i need to lower my breakfast

amount to 30g of carbs for breakfast

all while getting an egg, milk, fruit and a whole grain.

DIABETICS, please tell me HOW YOU DO THIS. 

I'm mean, i'd have to eat like a flippin rabbit. 

Sorry. All of you wonderful non-diabetics, 

look at your breakfast tomorrow, just check out the carbohydrate count and

think to yourself

if I can only eat 30g what can I eat. 

So much for my 42g of Fiber cereal for Breakfast. 

Sorry for the rambling. Sometimes it's soo easy to feel that

someone with out diabetes is

picking all of your hard

work apart. 

Then the dietitian proceeded to tell the Pump Educator

that she doesn't need to really see me again because

I am doing so well.

UGGHH...Really?
