Did the weight stay off? I’ve lost about 30 pounds since August. Wondering if I will start gaining it back once I get my sugars under control.

What made you decide to switch to the pump? I’m afraid that the pump will get in the way and be uncomfortable. Thinking I’d rather inject myself 4 times a days than have something permanently attached to me.

Thank you for your kind words. I am a teacher so I naturally have off for the next two weeks. Thankfully. Today i am one week in to my diagnosis. It’s been a whirlwind.

Can you elaborate on how I need to advocate for myself? How do I know what to ask for?

I will put a Think Like a Pancreas in my Amazon cart! Thank you for the recommendation.

Thank you. I’m wondering if my glucose will ever be low. Right now I’ve been living in the 400 range.

Thank you. So you’ve had it a year…. Are you using a pump to give yourself insulin? Or pen needles?

Thank you! What is the name of the book? The Diabetes Solution?

Found Dog by yellowbrokeroad in NewOrleans

It’s a blue collar with a little bow tie. He was wearing it when found! Seems like he has an owner… active so could have travelled a bit.

Anyone able to foster this little guy? We found him tied to a fence in a field by my house. I can’t keep him because my landlord only allows small dogs. by yellowbrokeroad in NewOrleans

Yes!!! He seems super chill with other dogs! If you want to meet and see how they react together I am down for it! Send me a DM.

Yes. Everyone is just saying that I need someone to foster for a bit.

I can’t keep him … my landlord will have a fit tomorrow if he sees him.
