I rarely test 2 hours after a meal, but I often wear a CGM so it tells me if I am still lagging with a high blood sugar and then I can decide whether or not I want to give more insulin or see if the remaining amount will bring me down (insulin can...

My grandmother, to this day, tells me that she wants me to go shopping with her because she wants to make sure she buys stuff I can eat. I keep telling her I can eat whatever she wants to make... with the exception of beef. And that doesn't have a...

United Healthcare (in NY/NJ area) covered it 100% and supplies too. I just switched to Anthem BC but I don't start the plan until January, so will report back then!

Fourteen Years

Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted, but I recently "celebrated" 14 years with diabetes. I don't celebrate having diabetes, but rather I celebrate my ability to cope with it so well and be healthy after so many years.

Read about my fun and crazy day here.

You'll also have the opportunity to suggest a name for the conference (so we can quit calling it the "adults with type 1 diabetes conference"...) and if your name is cho… Continue

What were you like at 22?

So, as some people may know, I turned 22 yesterday (for those who didn't know, don't worry, there's always next year!).

I found this question on another blog called No Pasa Nada and I would love to hear all of your reactions:

What were you like at 22? And if you're not 22 yet, what do you hope you will be like?

I'm really looking forward to hearing everyone's reactions. I just think it's fascinating that at the same age, we can all be in so many different pla… Continue
