Diabetes

Hey it's me and I'm going to talk to you about diabetes.  Diabetes is a disease that I will have for the rest of my life.  It is not very fun to be exact.  What happens is the pancreas does not make this stuff called insulin to help the body with the blood sugar.   Insulin is this watery stuff that that works with the blood sugar.  Since the pancreas isn't working you have to do it.  To deliver insulin into the body  you can use the pen, the pump that is what I use, and  the shot.  I think the pump is the best instead of 5 needles a day, 1 needle every three days.  What I mean by that is the pump has a plastic tube that feels like a needle and it is supposed to stay on you for three days.  Then you take that one off and put on a new one.  It may cost more but it is worth it.  I used all of them but for some reason the pen hurt more than the others.  To test your blood you need a blood glucose meter, a finger pricker, and test strips.  First you put a test strip in the meter , then you prick your finger , then there will be blood do NOT wipe it off yet you put as much blood as you can into the strip, the meter will have a number on it and that is blood sugar.  What else ,what else oh yes I almost forgot.  There are a a lot of finger prickers and blood test meters. I have the pump link.  It is wireless so when I test my blood the number will read to my pump.  I kinda cheated death.  I'll tell you how.    I was the only one that had it really bad and made it out alive.  So I kind of cheated death.  Well this is it. Bye!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving means a lot to me because you get to be with your family you don't see much.  And have a big breakfast or lunch.  I'm thankful for everything that happened to me in the past.  I can;t tell you all but I'll tell you one and that is diabetes.  It is not fun at all.  It is something that I'll have for the rest of my life. I'll tell you I hate it.  I'll make a separate blog about diabetes.   But back to the Thanksgiving stuff.  It is a real family holiday.  Whoever does not celebrate Thanksgiving, that is just sad.On Thanksgiving my family and I eat mashed potatoes, turkey , ham and sometimes soup.  It is a happy time for me because I get to be with my family.  Well this is it so have a good Thanksgiving!!!
