As I am sitting here thinking about a lot of things, like, how long we have been married, how long we have been living in this house, how long we have had Tucker, etc, those are all fairly long-term things - 4 years plus!
Then I start thinking about some of the smaller things that might seem like they have been around a lot longer than they really have been, like, having my pump. It has already been one month since I have been "plugged in," and I really do like it. I am looking forward to having my new doctor actually weigh in on my numbers and getting me into tighter control. I still feel as though my numbers (blood sugars) are still on the higher end of where they should be. But that is the thing with diabetes - there is always room for improvement somewhere, doing something. From the amount of times you test your blood sugars in a day, to how correctly you monitor your food/carb intake, all the way down to the granular level of how often you change your lancet in your poker. (ahem).
But really - I have gotten so used to my pump now, that the fact that I don't have to give multiple shots a day ( I was giving at least 5 shots a day with two types of insulin). Shorten that to, well, no daily shots, and just a site change once every three-four days, I will gladly take that!
