Just some advice I would give to someone wanting to know if they can really do this.
Just because you are missing your Beta Cells in your pancreas doesn't mean you are not enough. Sometimes the dragon gets the better of you and sometimes you kick the dragon out of the castle. Learning how to manage your life with diabetes is about kicking butt and taking names.
One time I was complaining about being diabetic to my husband and he said: well, don't be diabetic right now....only be diabetic when you have to check or take insulin..the rest of the time, live (ie: kick butt and take names. )
You are better than you think, stronger than you know and loved more than you thought possible. Remember...you are you and not diabetes.
Try to live in the moment. Don't live in the past: it can't be changed, only learned from. Don't live in the future...let the worries take care of themselves.
Get really good at doing YOU...find out who you are...this disease will show you all day every day...so will any other challenge. You get to choose ......there is always a choice. Make good ones.

How's it Goin'?
So I made a decision to get my blood sugars under control better than I have in the last few years.
It requires more checking where I am, using CGM, and using some new strategies for bringing them into contol when high or low.
My challenges are: When I take insulin for food or high BG, I go low or it does nothing. I have a pretty high ratio of BG to Insulin.
When I eat, I have an almost instant rise in Blood Sugar that I have a really hard time bringing back down, even with a super bolus.
What I have been experimenting with is using my pump to take insulin at a different rate than all at once. All at once has served me well for many, many years but lately it hasn't been serving me at all...

A Little Bit Off Today
Every Night I go low, it screws up my equilibrium the next day. This video says it well...
Explicit wording--but everybody says it....I'm just trying to eliminate that word from my vocabulary...sometimes it's the perfect word.

That's all. Now to the rest of the day. I will try to pick up the pieces and make it a better day. A little more complicated when dealing with Diabetes.
