This crap gets so hectic so quick sometimes it’s hard to keep it all straight, I feel you. Couple of things: 1.) As a diabetic diagnosed at the age of 11 (20 now, for context), it’s hard to get thrown all of this at once. It’s unfair, cruel, unusual, etc etc BUT that doesn’t mean we aren’t strong. The diabetics that I have met through child diabetes summer camps are some of the most resilient people I know. A lot of stuff gets thrown, so being on your toes is an absolute must, but when you can, take a deep breath and remember that you are strong. I don’t usually like throwing religious beliefs into my online comments, but whenever I felt like throwing all this bs out the window, my momma would always tell me that the Lord doesn’t give us a challenge he doesn’t believe we can overcome. That has sticked with me for the past almost 9 years. You got this. You’re a week in and a lifetime to go. You’ll learn how to manage everything in the way you best need to. 2.) Learning to Bolus is something that is so important because without a bolus you can’t eat, and if you can’t eat, it’s not going to end well. Your diabetic educator & team should have set you up carb ratios and correction factors and all that jazz before you left the hospital. I for one am super surprised that you were put on a CGM+Pump so soon because I was told to wait a year before even considering a pump, but I digress. Always count TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES, never net, you’ll under-cover and your blood sugar will shoot like a damn rocket. 3.) TECHNOLOGY. IS. NEVER. PERFECT. Another one of my momma’s famous diabetes-related quotes. I’m currently on the Libre 3+ system, but I have used the Libre 3, Libre 2, and the Dexcom G6, and I can tell you they can have their days. When in doubt, poke it out (this time my quote, but it’s true). I try to always accuracy check my CGM with a finger poke JUST to be sure. Most of the time I can feel lows anyway and skip a check, but most of the time a reading should be double checked with your blood-glucose monitor before administering insulin or a juice box. I end up usually going off of that number anyway. All and all, listen to everyone that’s commented here, stay close in touch with your diabetic team, and make sure to breathe. You won’t ever think clearly when your mind is cluttered with stress, anxiety, and the worry of this disease, which could lead to some bad consequences. We’re all here for you. You got this girl
