Going Good, Still Steady

I have been using the OmniPod for almost a month, I still like it has much as I thought I would. I am trying to be creative on where to place Polly Pod. I woke up this morning, decided to have Quyncee help place Polly Pod on my back, close to my bra strap. I like it there so far. No bad pods yet!!! My Bg’s are staying between 90-100 fasting,post meals 75-100 and sometimes 1 or 2 creep up in the 150’s. The good thing is I don’t get stressed out, I chalk it up as a learning experience. I haven’t had to change my basal setting’s. I have changed my carb to insulin ratio from 1 to 18 to 1 to 15. Carb ratio 1 to 15 allows me to have better control. I called OmniPod a week ago to have the PathFinder software sent to me and I still haven’t received it yet. I need to call them first thing Monday. I am curious to see what my numbers look like on paper!!! Overall I gave OmniPod 10 out of 10.

The Itch Is Gone….

The itch is gone, the itch is gone baby!!! The last 3 days w/ the OmniPod has been terrible, terrible not because of the Pod or the PDM, but terrible because of where I chose to place the POD. I placed it on my lower back (left side) and I hated it! I think it’s odd because I loved it on the right. It was very irritating on the left. I will never place it there again!!! Amen to a 3 day site change; if it was permanent I would be in a DIABETIC COMA. I would have pulled Polly POD off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"America’s Freedom Comes at A Cost"-Bush

I was actually going to write a blog about a movie I rented last night, but when I was logging onto the internet I saw a quote from George Bush; just saying his name makes me cringe. I know we are all entitled to our on political views, but America has lost so many men and women to a senseless war.
I hated when my Husband had to leave home to go to Iraq for 15 months. I hated not knowing if he would come home safe. I didn’t like to keep a thought in the back of my head—that he may not come home….This war has screwed up so many lives, marriages, children and family it’s unreal.
I support my Husband and of the other men and women who sacrifice their lives to make sure WE are FREE from terrorist and whoever else. I don’t support a man who is trying to play god. Bush falsified records stating there were weapons of mass destruction…what a bunch of crap.
I don’t how Bush can look at the Soldiers, Sailors, Airman and Marines in the eye….Well, I am getting furious just thinking about it so I am going to end this blog…Bush only has a few months in office…Yippee!!!

Complaining

Today, I am sitting at home watching Niya play. She really amazes me sometimes. I took her shopping. She picked out a book, shorts and a tank top. I can not believe she is going to be 3 soon. It’s only 64 degrees here in SO CAL, gas is $4.05 a gallon…what is a girl to do??? Scott and Quyncee went to see the movies. TV is terrible and I can’t go to Borders to get a book because Niya is in her restless stage. What a way to kick off the weekend..bored and at home.
Friday, Scott treated Quyncee and I to a manicure and a pedicure….awe! so relaxing. Just to be able to sit and do nothing…awe! Thank you Scott!! I enjoyed every moment of it…

F/up with Endo tomorrow

My one week appointment is tomorrow!!! I am excited I want to see how good I did w/ Polly Pod. I went running and I used the temp basal setting…I love it!!! I have heard a lot of bad things about the POD for example bad pods. I can only speak for myself… as of now I haven’t had any problems. If I do start having them, God will help me get through it…all man made objects have some type of flaws…..right? I know from experience you can not trust gadgets including pumps and or PODs.
Wish me luck…

Be Blessed
