222 mg/dL Head Cold & Tooth Pulled
Having a cold AND a tooth pulled qualifies for stress on the body; especially one with Diabetes. The doc said my BS would run high...just didn't expect them to jump so quickly. Kinda a bummer, totally controllable...but just unexpected. As my body fights off being sick and tries to heal I get high, ha, ha. And the crazy painkillers she prescribed me are not as fantastic as the True Hollywood Stories would have you believe, that is for sure. Oh well, thank god for Soy Dream!!
87mg/dL Step Out!
On October 11th, Team Chávez killed it at Seward Park. We collectively raised $1,600 for the ADA and couldn't have done it without all of our friends/family support! Thank you all SO very much for your support!
PS: Maya wants you to know that this is NOT an accurate photo of us as we were dressed WAY chic-er. Best dressed we must confess....pics to arrive soon.

138 mg/dL Free Strips!! Yay!
So the lovely folks at Accu-Check have granted me free testing strips for a whole year!! Yay! Yesterday I was met at my door by UPS with my first supply; this makes me one happy Diabetic chick! These strips can run you about $1 each and since I need to test my blood sugars 6-10 times a day it can really add up without insurance! Finally some good news. I should probably have that cookie in celebration, eh?

165 mg/dL Stone Cold Stressing
So, today brings about some residual stress from a crazy old boss who is harassing me. And as I try to keep my cool, my blood sugar is rising! It sucks, because I was gonna have a cookie with my afternoon latte. :( Ah well...at least I can go run stairs to alleviate some of this; and I can pretend each one I step on squashes all the hurtful and cruel things she is saying to me. And remind myself that I am bigger than her bullshit. Sigh, I would have rather had the friggin' cookie!
