Burnin down the house

So I’m totally sick of beast mode. Beast mode can suck it. I’m tired of writing my stupid numbers down, tired of counting carbs, tired of checking my sugar so often, tired of not sleeping through the night. I’m just…

Get Yourself Together

There are days when I really hate diabetes. I mean really HATE diabetes. And really, nobody gets it, unless you’re a diabetic yourself. I’m sorry, just because your cousin or your grandma has diabetes, it doesn’t make you an expert….

Appt #4 — OB

Nothing special. He looked at my logs, I had a few highs I was concerned about and plenty of lows. He wasn’t bothered. Said there’s no point in “chasing” individual numbers. More important to look at the trends, look at…

Save the Drama…

I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that maybe I’m not a mom’s mom. I don’t really enjoy play dates, I don’t read mom blogs, I don’t have the desire to make cool things for M off pinterest…
