This week has been a bit hectic with getting ready for going on holiday today.trying to make sure I've left instructions for everyone at work about how to do my job while I'm away (the place just falls apart without me don't you know, ha ha ha), packing for the holiday, making sure I've got all my medication sorted and three appointments. Wednesday was seeing the dietician.

The trials and tribulations of Type 1 Diabetes. Tuesday, 24 May 2011. The 20 Year Anniversay Posts - Diagnosis Memories. I need to start by saying I can't quite believe it has been TWENTY YEARS. Since I was diagnosed. So much has happened in that time. Medications have changed, my doctors have changed but the biggest thing that's changed is my attitude to my Diabetes! Like every Person With Diabetes (PWD) and every parent of a C. The GP told my Mom to take me straight up to the hospital as the blood test...

The trials and tribulations of Type 1 Diabetes. Monday, 31 May 2010. Late Night Hyper Support. 310510 - After yesterday's blood sugar success I guess I should have known it was too good to be true! I decided to inject some extra insulin which was total guess work as I am yet to learn how to work out correction doses. When I first saw the dietician at the end of April about starting to learn to carb count she told me not to worry about correction doses for now! In Pursuit of Perfection. Woke up this morni...

The trials and tribulations of Type 1 Diabetes. Tuesday, 23 November 2010. Back to Blogging.Finally! It's been a while, but I'm finally returning to my blog. It's been just over 2 months since I last blogged so it's about time I stopped neglecting it. I enjoyed (and needed) the break from it I must admit but over the last couple of weeks I've been feeling the occasional urge to get back to the world of blogging. Time to press the rewind button. Fingers (and toes) crossed! I use 'Mio' infusion sets so thi...

The trials and tribulations of Type 1 Diabetes. Thursday, 27 January 2011. It's a very brief post for my first one in about 2 months but I need to work myself back into blogging nice and slowly! Went to the insulin pump clinic today and had my HbA1c done.Was expecting a slight rise since my last one in November which was 8.3% but I was in for a pleasant surprise when the machine beeped and it said. 7.8%. I cant remember ever having a result that good! Next time I'm aiming for below 7.0%.
