Lost Insertion Device While Moving

My moving caused me to lose my infusion set injector. So, luckily I could get another one from my job today, because I went through the night without my pump attached to me, but I had a Humalog pen that I used as a backup. My sugar wasn’t that high when I woke up though, so it wasn’t that bad. I don’t know what I did with the injector, I think I broke it in the midst of packing everything up. I am almost completely done with the move in, but it seems everytime I move stuff out and I come back to get another load, I think somebody is coming into my apartment and adding more stuff because it is never ending.

Anyway, I spoke with my educator yesterday, and even after my insurance runs out, she is going to still do consultations with me and allow me to e-mail her my sugars and any pump adjustments that I need to make. I am lucky to have a CDE that cares that much!

Football season is almost here!!!! The birds play tomorrow night against the Patriots, and it’s good because it is the third pre-season game when the starters usually play a lot more throughout the game. I am not happy with how the starters are playing right now, but I also am not upset, they are just playing average, but it’s time to step it up now!

Last Night of Bowling, First Day of Diet

So tonight is final positioning night for the bowling league. We are in 4th place going into tonight and only 3 points behind first place. We will be bowling the 3rd place team, so it will be difficult to win first because we will have to rely on the 1st and 2nd place teams on splitting the games, plus we have to win all 3 games tonight. Also, today starts the new diet, and it started out on the right foot, I was up at 6:45 today and at the gym by 7. New apartment, new diet, new me!

I weighed myself last night, after a week of eating nothing but fast food because I was moving all week and was just grabbing stuff on the go, I weighed 250 pounds!!!! 5 years ago I weight 200 pounds, just a year ago I was 205, I have gained 45 pounds in one year, not too good. However, the good news is that it is excessive fat that I will probably be able to shed about 10 pounds in almost a week.

Well the insurance is almost up, September 1 is approaching fast. I have to get my blood work done before that because I have the whole 9 yards being done this time, more then just A1C. I am expecting a better A1C then last time, but I still don’t think it is going to be under 7. With the new diet though, I feel confident that by November, it will be under 7.0 and hopefully under 6.5!

Have an amazing week everybody! I promise, I will post more than I did last week.
