How Low Can You Go? 38mg/dL Apparently!


Yikes. NO good. I have zero idea what happened but all I could do was shovel brown sugar into my mouth, spoonful after loving spoonful. It sucked. I'd take being High over being Low any day of the week. This was from last week...

Faux Fashion or Why I Want To Leave This Town. ___mg/dL


This guy probably lives a great life. I just want to cut his hair and restyle his wardrobe. Sigh...just because it bugs me doesn't mean I have the right, right? I was in Safeway debating a Lean Cuisine or a Veggie burrito for dinner when this gem caught my eye.

Sweet Invisible Body by Lisa Roney 221 mg/dL


Prologue Quote: "If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people." -Virginia Woolf, "The Leaning Tower"

"I had to make daily and hourly decisions that determined if I stayed alive." -Lisa Roney

This is a great book; It is a really intense read...I hope to post something of merit which moves or depicts me as I devour each chapter. There is something comforting about a good author whom tells her realities with Diabetes, it isn't some doctor's take on what it is like...it is the real deal. Beautiful and tragic, but real.

Shooting Up ???mg/dL


I don't use enough insulin with most meals to require the usage of these insulin pens; the small needle caps which make usage of pens super easy and convenient. I actually use syringes.  But since insurance is only paying for the insulin pens, not the bottles...yada, yada, ya...is anyone getting tired of all this...everyday drama?  Yep, me too.

Blood Sugar Breakdown and Who Will Do The Dishes? 59mg/dL


I crashed while cleaning up my pad; all of a sudden everything was blurry and off kilter, I couldn't grasp anything and was so shaky that I thought to myself, "This is it, the first time I'll be calling 911," ugh!  I managed to align my sugar with 3 boxes of apple/pear juice and an english muffin...still in a haze.  Hate the haze.  :(

Hangover Cure? 90mg/dL


Drank too much last night; I used to be so good at going out, now I just pay for it SO much the next day.  I woke up 2 times to fumble for juice boxes. Thankfully my fridge, desk & nightstand are all lined with them.  Tomorrow I think I may start a cleanse.

Party Time! 126mg/dL















Here is a snapshot of my kit broken down to fit into a small clutch. I was at a fashion event and couldn't very well show up w/my usually jumbo bag, now could I? It is too bulky to remain in its case.  Note: I have started to Re-bedazzle it!

Sana, sana colita de rana.


If you grew up in a Latin household, you get this, and more than likely you wish Nana was here to fix it. I am fighting the ICK that is going around; I will beat it...just like an egg.

Work It Girl. 213 mg/dL


I love to run. Running has been my exercise of choice for years.  So the fact that running hits my blood sugars and makes me run REALLY low is frustrating, but I have been experimenting with various carb : insulin ratios, food consumption and these handy little goo packs.  

Good Morning Low Blood Sugar 69mg/dL


Dizzy. Shakes. Blurred vision. Nauseous. Fingers don't work. Sweats. Irritable. Aggro.
I hate waking up to low bs.  Any bs, frankly.  

Sugarfree! Sugar-what? 126 mg/dL


I kinda like this sugarfree creamer in my morning coffee.  Just saying.
