Feeling Hopeful

38 days ago by Misty

A little over a year ago, I wrote about some Medtronic "hopefuls" that were coming down the pipeline. I call them "hopefuls" because hearing about ideas and actually seeing them come to fruition are two different things. I often get my hopes up when I hear of a new direction the hunt for a cure is t ...

Passion

38 days ago by victoria

The past week or so has found some true oddities with my blood sugars. I’m still trying to figure everything out, but the oddities have been great numbers, so I don’t think I’ll worry too much about it. This week, I’ve been up late each night glued to my computer screen watching the live stream [... ...

Wait, You Do That Yourself?

When I first started using a Dexcom, I exclusively utilized my stomach for sites. I was simultaneously placing insulin pump infusion sites on the belly region as well, so as you might guess, I started to run out of "good" real estate. There are only so many places you can put those things, and I was ...

Cured?

39 days ago by victoria

If you’ve kept up with me lately, you know I was incredibly sick the week after Christmas. It didn’t last long, but the lasting effects sure did. After not eating anything for more than 24 hours, I was able to eat a few bites of rice. The next day, a few more. I managed to [...]

My Worst Night Ever

44 days ago by Holly

Last night was, by far, the worst night I've ever had with diabetes. I set a new record for myself for a low, not that I'm bragging in the least. I still feel scared writing this down, because I'm not really sure how I'm alive. It all started when I was battling a high for 3 hours before bed. It was ...

That Crooked Dex!

46 days ago by Alexis Pollak

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday/long weekend, and hopefully your blood sugars behaved better than mine (although much of the troubles were my own doing. Read: FOOD!). Because my boyfriend and I are training for a half marathon that’s in less than a month, we forced ourselves to log ...

Diabetes Makes Everything More Complicated

57 days ago by Jess

Oh my. Sorry I've been kinda MIA lately. I'm still playing catch-up. I was totally out of commission from Thursday night till Monday. I'll spare you all the gory details. Let's just say this was the worst stomach flu I've had in a long, long time. I haven't been so sick since I got food poisoning in ...

Thumbs Up from the Good Doc

65 days ago by Carla

I met with the Good Doc today to discuss my hair-brained idea of doing an Ironman. As expected, the Good Doc was in complete support of my giving this a GO! He asked about my nutrition plan for race day and I admitted this was something which had me concerned. Most of what you read on race day nutri ...

65 days ago by Satish Misra, MD

Our healthcare system is, in many ways, designed to deal with acute medical issues. So when a patient facing an exacerbation of a chronic condition – acute volume overload in heart failure or DKA in diabetes – shows up at the hospital, we are well equipped to get that extra fluid off or fix the bloo ...
