Well since I can never remember to watch the DLife show on Sunday’s, I just set my DVR and watch it whenever I remember to.  So, last night I watched this week’s most recent episode and is it just me or is everybody else inspired and ready to go grab a bike and start riding?  It amazes me that Team Type 1 can manage their sugar levels that damn well with the intense workouts they have.  I exercise for 15 minutes and my blood sugars go high.  After I get done running my sugar is usually 30-50 points higher.

I was really motivated and have been testing my sugar a lot more often, I know it’s only been about 12 hours since I watched it, but I have tested almost 10 times so far since then.  The race starts tomorrow and I am going to be staying tuned to see how well they are doing.  I hope they take first place again!

I have been wanting to go riding for a while, but I don’t live in the best neighborhood to do it, and I can’t throw the bikes in the back of my car to go to a bike path.  So that is why I was going to by an exercise bike until I couldn’t find one for a reasonable price.  Anybody have one to donate?!!??!!??  No, but I really am going to buy one soon, I think I am going to wait until I move because I will have a third bedroom for my office / weight room.

The skies are looking scary down here in south Florida!

First, thank you to Kathy and George for your thoughts on the new tv show I would like to develop.  I honestly think there could be some sort of show made like this, and then profits go to a charitable organization.  It would raise a lot of money and spread a lot of awareness about Diabetes and some myths that go along with it.

Next, I’m sorry to say but no more bowling and blogging Friday’s, at least not for now, I think the summer league starts up in about 3-4 weeks, but I don’t know if I am joining it.  It is $1 Miller Lite drafts during the league, which thats worth the money by itself.  This week, I am choosing to call it, Studying and Blogging Friday…and Saturday and Sunday.  It is all I will be doing all weekend long.

Also, it is time to do my diabetes inventory.  My parents are coming down in a week, and a lot of my extra supplies get shipped up there still, so I need to do a nice count to see what I need them to bring down to me.  This is always fun (sarcasm) counting how many strips, lancets, pen needles, infusion sets, reservoirs, insulin, insulin pens, and also their expiration dates.

See you all on Monday, have a great weekend!

After the past couple days of seeing the weird movie about the diabetic girl, watching some of Big Brother last night, and remembering my post a while back about a diabetic survivor show.  So, mixing them all together, I really want a diabetic reality tv series.  It will be a mix of them all.  Let me know if you all like this idea.  It would be, lets say 8-10 diabetics in a house, kind of like Big Brother, and they would have to survive, but it would be different challenges, like whoever had the highest week average of their blood sugars gets kicked off.  It would be fun to watch other diabetics on t.v. survive in a house, and not Brett Michaels and Rock of Live (shoot me if I ever have to watch that again!)

If there were such a show, I would be on it in a second.  I’ve been saying, I would try to get on Real World because there hasn’t been a diabetic on there.  I don’t think my relationship with my girlfriend would ever last if I went on there.  When was the last time you saw a couple stay together after being on the Real World?

Maybe I am just tired and thinking crazy ideas, or do others like this idea of a show?
