Dreaming Low
The other morning after waking up and falling back asleep, i had a dream that i tested my blood sugar and my meter said i was 45! I dreamt i was 45? Diabetes is everywhere, even in my dreams!!
Reminders
Yesturday i was pushing the 40 units left in my insulin reservoir, and it alarmed yesturday, and i was sure i would be okay until this morning. But, I didn’t take the time to change it last night, and i don’t normally like to change my site at night because i didn’t want to test 2 hours later in the middle of the night‚ and so i wrote “change site!!” on the top of my...
Receiving the Prudential Spirit of Community...
I have to tell you about a great day in my life! :]
So the day was supposed to start out with my twin sister, Jackie, and I going out to our high-school and speaking to the College Preparatory Class (CEP) at 11:00 about the UNLV Honors College and explain how students could ease their pain when reigstering with the Honors College at the University Nevada Las Vegas…so I thought!!!!...
Pump Site...
This morning i woke up with a high blood sugar of 209‚ and corrected.
I go out to the kitchen to eat breakfast with my sister and my mom, and I added the carbs, put the number into my pump, and added the usual 2 units for my morning bolus, so it was 6 units altogether
I keep wondering while watching that TV show, “why does my site hurt? Its not even that much insulin?”

Bad Sensors
So last Thursday, I put the sensor back in my hip, with help from my mom, because well, getting the right angle there myself would be pretty hard for the first time. And it felt awesome, somtimes I even forgot the sensor was there, compared to when it was in my stomach‚ i could feel it all the time and sometimes it hurt if i bent over. Sooooo it was working for‚ 2 whole days and 8 hours!!!!!...

On February 13, 2007, I was asked to go to my high school with my mom and sister to meet with our Principal. She handed me an envelope addressed to me. I opened it, started to read the letter. It said I was named Nevada’s Top High School Volunteer for the 2007...
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Mom and Aunt Mama!!! We hope you had the best birthday ever!
The night before, Jackie and I sticky-noted the windsheild of both of their cars, and put little sticky notes in their wallet, on their coffee cups that said “Happy Birthday Mom” and “Happy Birthday Aunt Mama!” And they were smiling the whole day from the moment they woke up to the time they went...

The Minimed Continuous Glucose Monitor
I have been meaning to update my blog since last Thursday, obviously I’ve been too busy to sit here and type all of this and update, so here goes! (while i have a couple minutes at least) Last thursday, I went back on the Sensor. I was using the inserter wrong so that is what caused the bleeding around the site! The inserter has to be on its “toes” and when the needle goes in...
