Hey Y'all!
Where have I been? Dealing with life!
So much has been going on yet I still feel very stagnant. I abhor that feeling.
Healthwise, I've been fighting. Diabetes is a lot to deal with but I feel like I am getting closer to knowing how to manage it. As of May 21st 2015 (a year and a day after my initial diagnosis), I was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic. Eh. That's a little frustrating because for a year my bloodwork has been leaning towards the diagnosis of Type 1 but because of my weight, family history and insulin resistance, I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic.
So, guess what? I get an Insulin Pump! Yay! I've been wanting one since last summer. I was always led to believe that in order to get an Insulin Pump you had to undergo an invasive procedure but during my Diabetes Education course I was told the TRUTH! The truth is that it is like an IV. I'll have to insert a needle into myself every few days instead of 10 times per day!--- Yay!
I'll be posting a lot about my Insulin Pump and my journey with it.
What else is new?
Oh, my hair is purple again! I dyed my hair purple in order to support Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Month [which was in May]. It was a great speaking point to raise awareness for this dreadful disease. Although I have not had any recent hospitalizations from Crohn's Disease, I have had a few bad days... But, my good days outweigh my bad days. So... Yay!
