Been struggling with highs....

For nearly a week it feels like I have been super damned high. UGH!

I've given up!

The daily posting of pictures, that is. I just cannot keep up. I got too much other stuff going on and my time at the computer is very limited these days.
But, I'm here, I love my Dexcom, my Ping, and being healthier than I have in years.

D:365 Day 27

I love spring.

D:365 Day 26

The 24 hour graph of blood sugars reminds me of a mountain range. I am so badly trying for the flat plains of North Dakota but so far, no luck inless I zoom in for the two hour graph

The latest

Well, I now use the Dexcom CGM. I am a happy convert from very anti (for me) CGM to pro CGM for me. I used Medtronic's CGM more than 5 years ago when pregnant with my first kid. It was hellish. This, howeve, is so easy to use and I love it.
I tweaked settings but thing they need to be more finely tuned.

More Penny. She has been a camera hound lately.

D:365 Day 24

More fun with Penny

*disclaimer. She was asleep and this was a sealed mini bottle.

D:365 Day 23

Outdoor fun with the animals and kids. This kitty is the most photogenic animal I've ever had.

D:365 Day 22

The day I used Dexcom for the first time!

D:365 Day 22-25 addressed

So, apparently the weekends kill me when it comes to picture taking and blogging. I have failed a few times to post daily but I am not giving up yet!
Pictures to come still.

D:365 Day 21

I used one of these nasty suckers last night. It works but tastes horrible to me. Keep in mind I choose diet and sugar free drinks as much as possible.

So this happened yesterday:

I replaced my site in the morning. I knew I wasn't getting good absorption in my belly site, so I moved it to my arm. When I reached back to help with a minion in the back seat, I ripped my fresh site out. This is exactly WHY I keep an extra site on me at all times. I popped this fresh pink site in and went on my way. Also, the blood was from the less-than-hour-old site. I am apparently blessed to have ripped that bad boy out, as I hit a blood vessel with it. I bled for a while before it finally stopped. Oy.

IT'S HERE!!!!!!
My dexcome is here!!!!

D:365 Days 14 thru 18

Day 14  Kitty cuddling is the best.

Day 15 Inspirational poster in my diabetic educator's office. Made me smile.

Day 16 Just another glimpse of my Lego addiction.

Day 17 Two of the four newest chicks bought in February went missing. My theory is a hawk made a feast of them. We have since reinforced their growing enclosure. There are two new hicks in this brooder. Anna and Elsa. I named them, and I'm not even a little ashamed of that.

Day 18 These cute dollar store calendars make my day. I love the baby wildlife ones the best. 

It has been nearly a week!

I last blogged days ago! I have been sick, the kids have been the same energetic minions, and I have been in a constant state of blargh since the last blog post was published.
I was officially trained on my new pump and barely had anything new to learn.
I lost out on the last 5 days of photos, so I will post all 5, and today's pic, later today.
I'm officially registered for classes in the fall, so that makes me super freaking excited!!!!

D:365 Day 13

Yes, I can have that candy.

D:365 Day 12

Cheat day! Thanks to Type 1 Diabetes Memes on Facebook, I have a whole slew of hilarious memes I love!

D:365 Day 11

Trying to prevent a night-time hypo leads to questionable bedtime snacks.

D:365 Day 10

This alone is not what causes me to panic. This combined with being unable to bring it up and then proceed to do things and not remember them is what causes me to panic.

D:365 Day 9

This is what my furniture used to house before I made the empty strip garbage vial.
