Living With Diabetes

Lots of reasons I haven't been posting much, but the best reason is that I have been spending a lot of computer energy doing research on insulin pumps.

I had good control through the school year, but I was working very hard at keeping everything the same.

Had decided that this summer was going to be about fixing everything I could, which is why I started the round of surgeries. Well, everything is getting fixed ... BUT the blood sugar.

We added glucophage, which really flattened everything out, but I didn't see much in the way of other changes, and was STILL gaining weight.

I'm still not happy with my control and I am even less happy with what is going on with the blood sugar side of things and my doctor DID suggest looking into the pump on my last visit. So I have and decided I was going with it.

Talked to the pump today and found out the co pay was doable on the current insurance and have decided to go with it.

It's a tough decision.

It means in a way to surrendering even more to the diabetes thing. Though I really don't think it's going to reverse.

I'll be better at posting though and let everyone know how the pump process go.
