Diabetes Lately
Back up your settings
At Stacey’s tip, I took pictures of my basal rate, target blood sugar and IC ratio menus on my PDM and promptly saved them to the cloud. Why? Because stuff happens. Technology can have a mind of it’s own and trying to remember pump settings isn’t easy, especially with variable rates like most of us have.
Mystery holes
Poke once, bleed twice:
I actually poked the left side which makes it even weirder.
Annoyed
Most days I can cope with the demands of having diabetes. But today, I’m super annoyed. My new site is making it impossible to keep my shirt tucked in correctly, I feel like I’ve adjusted it about a million times already. Normally I love lower back sites because it makes my device basically invisible.
Also, it seems like every three days along with changing my site, I have to change my sleeping position.
That adds up to an annoyed Rachel.
Living on the Edge
I always feel like I’m living dangerously when my d-supplies/storage are low. I was living on the edge when I procrastinated on pods. This weekend I lived dangerously when I went to celebrate a friend’s birthday with only 17 units of insulin in my pod (oh don’t worry I had a new pod and insulin with me). Today, I’m on the edge with fewer than five strips in my vials to last until the end of the work day.

That sucks living on the edge with diabetes or any health condition. For me its not knowing if I will be able to eat on a trip. But I couldn’t imagine having to keep track of medical supplies!
That’s a great idea to save those settings in the cloud somewhere!
And isn’t is bizarre when that happens with your fingers? Like, whoa buddy, slow down!
