07.16.2015 Take A Break

So, I took a break from diabetes for the past two days. I disconnected from my insulin pump and my continuous glucose monitor, I didn't take my blood sugar nor did I do multiple daily injections of insulin. 

I'm debating whether or not what I did was smart. Health wise... It's probably dumb. But it really helped me mentally. A break from all that helped me. Eh. 

As soon as the morning hits then I'll connect back up to my Dexcom (it monitors my blood sugar every five minutes and alerts me (and my dad) of my highs/lows) and my t:flex (my insulin pump). 

One thing that I do need to do next time I take a break is to still take my long acting insulin (my twice a day insulin) even if I abandon my mealtime insulin.
