My Omni Pod

My omni pod is a machine that gives me insulin.  I have been on it for almost 2 years now.  My A1C has dropped over 3 points since I started it.  It also gives me freedom to come and go and not have to rely on shots.  I love it very much.  But I have to go to Albuquerque 4 times a year to make sure everything is ok. 

Jolly Rancher

Jolly Rancher is the name of my new dog .She's  brindle colored and she is a very cute dog. She is only 4 months old .She is from the Humane Society and my mom surprised me with her.Sometimes she bites but not normally.  She knows how to play fetch,   she does not know how to roll over or shake but when she needs to go out she goes to the door and sometimes she gets her leash in her mouth... well I hope you like this

It's been a while.

Sorry for  the wait I was caught up in all my school work,trying out for Base ball, cub scouts and I got a puppy :) My blood sugar A1C was 8.1 after a A1C of 8.6 so that is great!!! We are still working on trying to get below 8.00...To all of you diabetics try to keep your blood sugar within your target! Ahh my puppy just bit my ear

Gt program

Today was a good day.  We have made changes to my pump settings and I am running closer to my "normal" range.....(whatever normal is!!)  Anyway, my teacher nominated me for the GT program today.  I think it is pretty exciting and my mom is thrilled. 

I have had some challenges with my pod lately on my stomach.  Twice now it has bruised me and gave us a false alarm on a bacterial infection.  We are off the stomach for a while---but honestly it is my favorite place for my pod.  It hurts the least there. (well until lately) I hope it heals quickly because now I have to use my arms and I hate placing the pod of my arms.

 I can't wait until Omnipod comes out with a smaller version of the pod. 

We went swimming this weekend and again I had to change out a day early because the tape was lifting. But I love swimming!!

That's all for now.  My DS is calling me.

F T of S

Here I am once again to share my thoughts with all you diabetic kids/adults. I don't like having diabetes but there are advantages....I get to have snacks in class.....I get to leave PE early (if I am feeling bad) so I try to make the best of it.

Today I had an "off" day.  I was feeling bad this morning...My numbers were close to 400---so I felt shaky and jittery.  I also felt like I was going to faint and I was really hungry (even though it was a false hunger)  It's hard to concentrate when you feel like this.....and on friday I took a test and was 342.  I didn't do as well as I had hoped. 

I know we all have these days...and I hope tomorrow will be better!
Hope you had a great weekend!

Hi welcome to my first post . I am a diabetic and I decided to start a blog about diabeties. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 2 1/2 . I feel good about it even though I have to take insilin for everything I eat.  I still feel good about having diabetes because I don't let it limit what I can do.  I have had some great expierences because of my diabetes.  I had a Nascar racecar race in the Brickyard 400 with my name on it.  I have met a Congressman who has listened to my story.....just to name a few.

I want you to know that you are not alone out there.  I am here to share my story and my expierences to help you laugh, cry and just be able to talk about it.  I hope you find it helpful!
