No Hitter!

So I guess this isn’t *technically* a 24 hour no-hitter since the graph barely squeaks above the 140 mark at one point, but it’s pretty darn close!! On this day, I somehow even managed to avoid the...

Spicy Chicken: Sugar Nemesis

I don’t know what it is, but I LOVE spicy chicken. The kind that has the sweet/hot chili sauce. The craving for it comes out of nowhere, but it may have something to do with my allergies and sinus...

Wordless Wednesday – Matchy Matchy

(I love it when they match (or are very close to matching)…..I don’t love it when they match and I feel like a space cadet crashing down to earth.)

Not the greatest start to the day of celebrating our Independence….woke up with a blood sugar of 200 (that had apparently been going on all night, but I never woke up to fix it), went down to 55 after...

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise

I thought maybe if I said it 3 times, it would somehow endow me with magical exercising abilities? I feel like I talk a lot about exercise, but don’t really DO enough exercise. I need to work on that....

Lancets – the good, the bad, the gross

From hanging out in the DOC for a few years now, I think I can safely say that a LOT of us have a very lackadaisical attitude towards lancets. Sure, we use them on a daily basis, and have to have them...

I’ll have Gerard Butler with my wine, thank you

My favorite wines tend to be red….my current red wine of choice is just about any Malbec from Argentina. I’m not a wine snob nor do I profess to know much about wine, but I know what I like to drink,...

D-girls Night Out

Since becoming more “diabetes aware” in the past few years, I’ve met so many wonderful people online, as well as many local diabetes friends, who happened to be women. We’ve started gathering together...

Skipping Sundays – Sea Otters and Kids

Loved seeing the kids enjoy the sea otters at the aquarium, and mimicking their “up & down” above and below the water. Huh, my blood sugars felt the same way that day.

Wordy Wednesday – Low? Low…. Low!

This was my Dexcom G4 view for the majority of the day yesterday. It didn’t start going up until I consumed a VERY carb-filled Italian dinner last night, but even then, it spiked up, then sorted itself...

OneTouch Made Me Feel So Much Better

It’s like they read my mind! I’ve been using OneTouch test strips for years now, and was always frustrated that the bottles were packaged in sets of 25 strips each. I mean, seriously? I can blow...
