Diabetes

In January, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. It has been a roller coaster ride since then! In the past three months, I have had to take insulin shots, discovered what I can and what I can't eat, I have gotten an insulin pump, learned how to change the site, gotten a sensor, learned how to put it in and have dealt with various high and low blood sugars (54 being the lowest and 373 being the highest). Hopefully, now that I have my pump and sensor, things won't be so hectic and I can relax a little knowing that if I was able to manage the first few months of this craziness, I can handle the rest of my life (or at least the rest of this year). We'll see where technology takes us.
