Thanks Dorrie! I think rewarding yourself for a good week gives you something to look forward to. It helps Jim and I to be more aware of our choices throughout the week knowing we can have something on Friday's. You should see us on Fridays! lol Happy dances and big smiles haha!
I do make lowfat snacks on Fridays too. For example, I may make some brownies but they are the low fat, fake egg kind. Or I will make a lime jello dessert with fat free cool whip, pineapples and pears. Yum! Mom is doing Ok. She is getting tired of living with my sister in the small house but they are making the best of it. Her appointment is the 14th and we'll know for sure what path she is going to need to take as far as her disability. I am expecting her to be able to come up and stay with us in July and we'll fly her back in January. Lord, give Jim and I strength. lol

Sure wish someone here was on an insulin pump like me It would be so nice to have a few type 1's around to share common problems unique to type 1 diabetes.
On that note, I just adore my pump! I almost feel normal, even though I struggle with my sugar levels like everyone else here. The pump is way cool and so convenient with my insane lifestyle! No shots to worry about and if I miss a meal, it's no biggie any more. I'm packing insulin at a steady rate 24/7. I only bolus with the touch of a button when I eat something Carolyn |

Hi All! Carolyn...even though so far none of us have the insulin pump it is good that you mention it and chat about your days as well. Someone with type1 may happen to see your post while they are cruising or visiting!! I am happy for you that you are pleased with it...Lord knows if something helps normalize us it is wonderful!!
Raisonettes........I LOVE raisonettes Shelley!! I bought some at the bulk store about a month ago...YUMMY..but my sugar flies up and I feel so sick after I eat them!! Where has shiney Sue been...Sue Sue...where are you?!!! Hope you are OK. Sandy...how did your Mom do at her appointment...I have been praying for her! Billie!! PLEASE please check in with us...you matter so much to me and I am worried about you ...I see that you have not been in all week...PM me if you want to but please connect in some way I have had a rough week with alot of LOW sugars...converted it was around 48 and as low as 43....I felt like crap.....shaking, sweating, mixing up my words...frustrated, agitated, weak, confused...it was awful. Today I kept it up to72...much better!! It is so strange...it takes me time to get over it...it frightened me though and I was glad that Saffire was sleeping thru the worst low blow...I managed to call my Mom and Dad and keep them on the line....then checked in a few times afterwards. What a disease! Hope you all have a good night!!

Hi All!
Its a beautiful Saturday here. I am inspired by it and have decided to go to our storage locker and get out my bike and dust it off. Dorrie - how scary about your sugars. I am glad though you had support in your mom and dad. Billie, please come back we miss you. I want to see some of those lovely pics you post each day. You have no idea how some of them just made me smile. Carolyn, I am working on a sticky for this forum. So if you have some good advice for pump users ot Diabetes 1 please let me know. Good day to all! |

Hi Dorrie, Shelley & group, I am okay. I just got off work. Didn't have to do much like some weeks. The last I knew my diet was okay also. About the same. I do have to watch in order not to gain. Of'course I feel better, since I am not suppose to eat sugar anyway. My exercise is going fine. I walk everyday and go a long ways somedays. Say Carolyn, I do know someone in our town that is on a insulin pump. She said she is doing great the last time I ask her. She is a teenager and skinny as can be. I remember when her reading was real high, like better three hundred. I don't know much about her tho. If you want me to ask her any questions I'd be glad to. She works at the grocery store. Hugs, Billie
