Hope everybody have a great Fourth of July.  I can’t really complain about the whole weekened.  Golf Friday, relaxation and fun on Saturday, golf on Sunday.  But then back to work on Monday.  Which is also the last day to submit your story on GlucoStories to win a trip to meet Charlie Kimball.  GlucoStories is excited to have as 2 of the 5 judges the local West Palm Beach JDRF chapter and also Kerri.

On to the next thing.  At golf on Friday, I had a pretty bad low, 65.  It was extremely hot so it came out of nowhere.  It is almost impossible to hit a golf shot when your blood sugar is low.  It’s hard enough to hit a good shot when it is normal, ha!  I have 1 of the largest bags of Mike n Ike’s in my golf bag, so I was pretty good.  I ran out of Gatorade, so that was not an option. I recovered in about a hole and a half, but at least I had a good excuse for shooting an 8 on the 15th hole.

On one final note, I am setting a goal of reading 1-2 new diabetes related books a month.  So, I need all your advice on which I should read.  Please help.

Have a great day everybody!

I must begin by saying, wow am I impressed with my new Endo!  I think she knew more about the pump I am on then the people who make it!  Also gave me some great ideas on inserting the real time sensors and how to cover them and the transmittor with the dressing.  I was happy that I finally went to see an Endo and that this is the one that I went to.

On to other things.  Last night was the local Greater Palm Beach County JDRF’s appreciation dinner from the walk in Boca Raton back in March.  This was a great event.  It started off with JDRF talking about GlucoStories and how great of an opportunity it is for everybody.  The fact that they can meet Charlie Kimball, plus all proceeds are being donated to JDRF!

Next up were the awards.  My company was awarded two awards for the walk.  I was personally awarded the Golden Sneaker Award which went to individuals who raised more then $1,000.  I am just happy I could help.

So all in all yesterday was a very inspiring day.  I wish I could inspire you all the way these kids inspired me last night.  Well this is not a shameless plug for GlucoStories, but this is really a great way to motivate and inspire the people out there that need it.  I read most of your blogs, I know you have great stories.

I hope you all have a great day and even better weekend!
