A week back at home in good ole’ Pennsylvania.  Traveling with diabetes can be frustrating for me at times, especially at the airport.  I tend to get my carry on bag checked just about everytime because of the insulin that I have in it.  Also, 90% of the time my pump sets off the metal detector.  But it doesn’t bother me, it makes me feel more safe knowing that they are doing their job.

Well, I took my girlfriend to Hershey Park, and being surrounded by all the chocolate was very very tempting.  My pump got a lot of work and I used a lot of insulin that day, but when in Rome… 

Going back home for a week when I am away for months at a time, I usually over eat on the home cooked meals and the local burger spots and tend to not eat according to my diabetic meal plan, but I didn’t have too many highs while I was home.  But now it is back to work and school and managing the blood sugars a lot closer now.

Also, today begins the journey of losing 20 pounds by November.  Stick with me and help give me the motivation I will need to lose it, and believe me, I will need the motivation.
