Laced with nitroglycerin.

I’m so damn happy.

I went to my endocrinologist on Wednesday and, despite having to pay full price for my entire visit since my dad fucked up my insurance, it was one of my best visits in years.
My A1C dropped from an 8.1 to a 7.4 and I lost 16 pounds.
My blood sugars have been soooo much better since I started taking Metformin. And my girlfriend keeps pushing me to be a good diabetic. Maybe that’s all I needed.

I never really thought it would be possible to get it down. And no, 7.4 isn’t super fantastic, but it sure as hell beats 10-12 like it was a few years ago. But I feel a lot more capable of bringing it down even more now.

Whelp…

Lantus isn’t doing shit for me.
I want my pump back.

So…

My fucking pump just broke…
Because, apparently, someone decided it would be a good idea to have a button error to occur if a button is pressed for over 3 minutes. Or something of the sort. The Medtronic lady wouldn’t really tell me exactly why, go figure.

On the up side… I’ll have a brand new one on Wednesday. And I was lucky enough to have my doctor on call tonight anyways, so I was able to get a nice vial of Lantus called in for me.

I’m a little disappointed and frustrated with Medtronic. But, in all honesty, I’m looking forward to being pumpless tomorrow…

Ya know, I really took juice for granted when I was younger.
And, my diabetes came on so fast, that I really never had a chance to really savor it.
I mean, I used to drink it and all. But I would have rather had a soda than a glass of juice when I reached the age of 7.

Soon after I became diabetic, I started craving juice. It came to the point where I wanted to go low, or even make myself go low, just so I could have some. 

I don’t really know where this post is going, but I just wanted to rant about how much it really does suck overall. Fruit flavored drink just doesn’t compare at all to real, 100% juice.
