Good Site, Gone Wrong

It looks like a bug bite, is it really? No. The picture you see above is a picture of where my OmniPod sat on my back

.

Last night, after I ate dinner (two piece’s of chicken tenders, 2 servings of broccoli with cheese) my BG’s where 200; very high for what I ate. I had Quyncee look inside of the clear casing to make sure my cannula was still inserted. She said the cannula was still there but it had blood around it and look like a bug bite or a pimple gone wrong. I boloused off of the 200 reading and an hr later my BG’s read 217…Ok, what’s really going on? I can’t be the only person who’s had this problem…

I called Omnipod, was told to remove the Pod and to put a new one on. She said a new Pod would be on it’s way. No matter what time of day I’ve called Insulet’s customer service, I’ve always receive great customer service!!!!

I put a new Pod on. I checked my BG’s an hour later back down to 157. I am so glad I didn’t go to sleep, I would have been Trouble…maybe laying in the hospital.
I am glad I followed my first mind.

Have a Great Weekend.

Oh No! Hawaiian BBQ

Leave a reply

Last night I had one of my favorite things to eat, Hawaiian BBQ! I
didn’t indulge in it like I wanted to; I had 1 tablespoon of mac
salad and the rest was all meat.
Omg!! It was so good it made me want to smack my momma, but in
return it smacked me right in the face! I bolused for 40 carbs and 2
hours after dinner my BG's was 191!!!!
I tried to figure it out and what I didn’t factor in was the hidden
sugar in the sauce!!! no dipping in the BBQ sauce and I didn’t add extra sauce, I can tell the food is cooked in the sauce; I could tell. So, I bolused before bed and walked around the area and walked my stairs (16) 10 times up and down. I woke up this morning and my BG’s were 104.I’ve come to this conclusion…I will not stop eating H-BBQ because I don’t eat it all the time, I will figure out how to make sure I bolus correctly next time.

Be Blessed and Have a Happy Friday

Til’ Death Do Us Part and Diabetes has made Us stronger

Our First Tost 11-1-03.jpgMy Husband amazes me. Since my Dx he has been supportive! He listens to me complain about Bg’s and everything else associated with Diabetes. He sacrifices to make sure I am taken care of. I wake upand can’t believe how lucky I am. God has truly Blessed me with a winner; he didn’t get a bad catch either.

When I received the POD I was a little uncomfortable being in the nude around him, I didn’t want him to look at me any different; I can’t believe the thought crossed my mind. He didn’t care, he loves me no matter what…Diabetes,Pod, Oral Meds or INJECTIONS.

Scott helped me place my Pod on my back; I know this is going to be a little crazy BUT it was one of the most gentle touches I have ever felt. **blushing**

I know our wedding vow’s said, ” Til Death Do Us Part.” If I was diabetic when I was standing at the alter, I would have said, “Til Death Do us Part, through all of the Highs, Lows, Doc appointments and Diabetic tudes.” hahahaha!

P.s. Do not try to battle Diabetes alone, it’s almost impossible to do!
When it comes to coping w/ being a diabetic, educate your spouse (mate) and invite to them to join a support group or a few doctor appointments.

Take care and God Bless
