Pic-a-day 13- Awareness

My Dexcom CGM keeps me constantly aware of where my blood sugar is, when I am going low, and how the food I eat effects it.  I feel a certain amount of guilt when I have eaten something I know I shouldn't have and hear that familiar tone.

Catching up Pic-a-day 9,10,11: Support, Exercise, Play

Support

In the first months of my diagnosis as Type 2 the ADA website was a priceless resource as were the forums.  They are still soooo helpful when I have Type 1 questions or any diabetes related questions.

Exercise

That shoe is definitely not one that brings exercise to mind, but the amount of walking I do at work (10 miles plus some days) is the bulk of my exercise these days

Play

With the weather getting colder, snowboarding season is almost upon us.  Hopefully I can get to the mountain more this winter than in the past.  I can't wait to teach my son the ropes.

Pic-a-day 7: Blue

Earlier this year a co-worker and I volunteered to work an entire night in drag to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.  This is the result.  The scary, scary result.
