...the brain
of some delusional being!
Only kidding there.
I advocate getting exercise. When you have diabetes, it's that
much more important. Go walk Fido, take a stroll with your sweetie,
mow the lawn, play the wii..... :) you get the picture.
P90X is an extreme home fitness routine. If you have cable,
you've seen the ads - regular people like you and I working (very)
hard and getting (very) fit. I wasn't so sure about this, but I
really wanted to try it. I mean, every time the infomercial came on
(no matter which one, there's multiple ones!) I watched it, and
wondered....
Could I not only get BACK in to shape, could I get in to the
best shape of my life? The...

I've got a
handy little tool that helps me decipher how people end up here.
Historically, most first time visitors find their way here by
'googling' insulin pump review, or some variation thereof. However,
lately many have found ipump by searching for opinions on 'what is
better, insulin shots (aka injection therapy) or the insulin pump'.
Now for me, circa all the years I had diabetes, and BEFORE the
pump I would have vehemently told you...

Happy
Pump-aversary!!
I would've celebrated with (2) small Dairy Queen Reese's Peanut
Butter Cup Blizzards (yes, 2), but I had forgotten today was the
day until after DQ closed. I suppose there's always the '2-year, 1
day' anniversary...
It completely slipped my mind until I got an incredible message
from a new friend in Canada, more about that later.
So 2 years ago today I made the switch, I took the plunge, I
changed course...

I'm not
diabetic on any level.
I am a happy, healthy young man who is humbled by vibrant
relationships with a merciful Savior, loving family, and inspiring
friends.
My Mac dictionary defines diabetic as: "A person suffering from
diabetes."
I am not suffering. Admittedly at times I am struggling, but I
am not suffering
I do have diabetes, but I'm not diabetic.
I am more than a chronic disease label.

Complications.
If you have diabetes, you are well aware of the warnings. You've
heard your doctor, nurses, nutritionist, family, and friends speak
of complications.
If you don't have diabetes, you've probably seen the ads on TV,
read the magazine or internet articles, or heard from others about
the covert damage diabetes can cause.
For me, I recognized the dangers of high blood sugars, but
without the immediate consequences...

Yesterday I had what was probably one of my
all-time most frustrating D-days, but with the greatest people to
hang out with. I got up at 4:30 (after 2 below-40 lows overnight)
and was already rebounding high as I took the train down to NYC and
the Diabetes Research Institute’s “Diabetes 2.0” conference. I did
a small correction on the train (no breakfast yet, and I didn’t
want to worry about being low while trying to find the conference).
I...

Even though there is another blog post I’ve
been meaning to write for weeks.. um, months … now, in honor of
Raise Your Voice Day, I figured this one would be more appropriate.
I’m not going to do a “type one 101” session, as you can find many
good examples here at Kerri’s blog. And, in previous posts I’ve
covered my diagnosis, a 24 hour log of life with diabetes, and a
short humorous summary of the impact of this disease. So for today,
I...

I broke an almost-new bottle of insulin this week. It had
been opened less than 48 hours, had only 150 units removed. It
wasn’t an accident or a cat attack, though.
The short story is it broke because I threw it at a wall.
Twice.
The long story starts with it being a typical day at work.
Getting ready to drive home, I tested at 160. Which was kind of
high for...
