Only just caught this blog [on hiatus from social; media] that DWED previously published quite a while ago:

"It wasn’t just making sure I took my medication on time or just counting your carbs, and everything will be OK — it was way more than that. For the first couple of years, that was all I really did. I adjusted my insulin to how many carbs I was eating — despite what it did for my blood sugars thereafter. I would sit and wonder why my blood sugars were so high in the first place. I did the math, why wasn’t it working? Now, I know there are a number of factors that can affect your blood sugar. Exercise, stress, hormones, the type of food I’m eating. Plus, taking on the role of an organ can be quite difficult — but not impossible."

"Ninety percent of the thoughts I have during the day revolve around my diabetes."

Here’s just a few things for anyone with a still-functioning pancreas to consider during 2009’s world diabetes month, and hopefully beyond. Imagine feeling like a human pin cushion from pricking yourself to test blood sugars. I can go through ten glucose strips in a day sometimes, yep I am hardc...

I was just discharged from an eating disorder inpatient unit after spending four and a half months there.
