Diabetes Logistics
Weekend Juggling…
I spent all weekend at a wedding for a college friend in a small town on the Massachusetts north shore. It was an incredible affair - beautiful ceremony, beautiful party, and best of all, wonderful people. But as usual, diabetes was there to make sure the logistical gymnastics didn’t quit. It started at dinner before [...]
He had a point.
The candy was calling to me. I was in the back office of a medical building, waiting for one of my doctors to swing by. The candy dish in his office overflowed with peanut butter cups, dark chocolate, Hershey kisses, Milky Ways, and every other sweet indulgence you could think of. Next to the bowl, [...]
Making the break easier…
I took a pump break last Saturday – 24 hours back on Lantus and Humalog injections. I hadn’t done that for a loooong time – in fact I’m still not really sure when the last time I did that was. I’m pretty addicted to my pump/CGM regimen these days. My comfort level of wearing both [...]
Fascinating things that happen when you move diabetes:
Whew – success!! I moved in to my new apartment this weekend and I am loving getting everything all set up. And nothing shows you all the crap you carry around for you diabetes better than the tremendous schlep that is moving homes. Check out the diabetes shelf in my new pad (not to be [...]
Fireworks and fingersticks.
Alrighty! After a long weekend, I’m back with more d-bloggage than you can handle! Big weekend for me – I have my new apartment ready to move in and I’m moving out of my current place, little by little. I also had an action packed weekend that involved lots of Fourth of July madness. Between [...]
Solo safety.
I made a big decision this week. I’m moving out of my house with three room mates into a place of my own. With my new job’s location (all over the county), the stuff I’ve accumulated over the past four years living here, and the fact that a very special person in my life happens [...]
The Hang of Things…
So, some of you regular readers of the blog may have noticed a I”ve been posting a bit less frequently lately. That’s due to the fact that I’m in a new job as a sales rep which involves me being all over town (read: not in front of a computer all day). Without easy access [...]
‘Betes Logistics – always thinking!
Tons to write about this past Saturday’s awesome Tour de Cure, but I need to find enough time to write a post that does that amazing event justice! In the meantime, I had an experience the other day that made me think about all the weird logistical challenges people with diabetes have when trying to [...]
Triathlons were made for people with diabetes…seriously.
I had an amazing revelation this Sunday at the Super Seal Triathlon: Triathlons are great for people with diabetes because there is a place to put your stuff. No – I’m serious – this made a HUGE difference to me. Let me explain: In most organized sports competitions, you have to park somewhere super far [...]
Now Hiring: Management Positions Open
Sitting outside of the grocery store yesterday, I put a blood sample on my meter and waited for the result. 70mg/dL. Not technically low – yet. But I had tested because I had that “I’m on my way down” type of feeling. I was sans CGM thanks to a bum sensor I had removed the [...]
