Beat the Beetus

So what can I do with my old insulin pump? 

Anything? I know I can’t  sell it but I figured there must  be something I can do with it.  

Are there certain things you always tell the ones you’re closest to about your diabetes.

Best friends, family, or significant others?

I mostly tell symptoms to watch out for because I don’t always notice them. Also basic things I should or shouldn’t do or eat/ shouldn’t eat because I often lie and say nope eating this won’t hurt me.

I’m stubborn and need to be kicked in the butt when it comes to things like that. Luckily the ones that love me have the tendency to have no problem kick me in the ass. Haha.

I hope you are all doing well. Oh, and I missed my endo appointment so going to reschedule for about 2 weeks. We’ll see how all that goes. Nervous mostly because I know for a fact it won’t be as good as last time.

What are some of your favorite no carbs drinks? 

Also I was curious as to how diabetes affects those or you who play sports and/or have a very active lifestyle?

I used to do cross country I was in the middle of it when I started getting really sick. I miss running so much everyday. Also running at charity walks instead of just walking. I went into a coma at the end of my last cross country season. 

I found out then I was diabetic. I never really got to much back into sports, including dancing as well, because I was scared to. To pass out, get too low and a variety of other things.

OK, it’s funny because 

I haven’t had it in 2 1/2 years and i looked for in it my jeans when I took them off today. 

I thought “Oh no!, I ripped my site out” 

I think I’m going crazy haha.  

Thing 1: 

When you’re working out and your blood sugar is a perfect number to work out with when you start. You either get a low right after or anytime during your exercise. Oh, it’s just annoying to me.

Seriously, just makes me feel I wasted that complete time I spent working out. Such a contradiction and it’s not even our faults. Bah. I do know protein is the key when it comes to working out but sometimes that doesn’t always work. 

Thing 2: I was just chillin at my endo’s to get my prescriptions rewritten and he asked if I wanted free vial of both insulins. Lantus and novolog. Also needles. 

Why would I have to answer that. Free insulin and some needles. I mean by all means give me anything I pay money on for free and I’m happy. So when I got back into the waiting room where my friend was I told and they’re also diabetic. 
It pretty much went like this:

 

Yup. Yup.

Well I hope you all are doing fantastic. I’m struggling a bit with my numbers now. It’s mostly all because I keep getting dehydrated. I need my butt kicked for that.
