The wonderfulness of flowers:

My roses have bloomed and still smell so fresh and look so Ahhh!

I have many favorite flowers. One being The Bleeding Heart. My nanny that passed away a little over 2 years ago grew these.  I think if you just look at them you can understand why I love them…

Real Time Revel System!!!!!

I was just approved for this today by my insurance. This is a great day! The Real Time Revel System looks like this…

I already have the pump. You are looking at the transmitter. This is the new device I am getting. I remind everyone that I am a Type 1 diabetic. I am on an insulin pump. This transmitter sends a blood sugar reading to my insulin pump every 5 minutes. On an average normal day I have to stick my finger 4 to 6 times to get a blood sugar. So 4 to 6 times a day along with a reading every 5 minutes – imagine how wonderful this is. This transmitter although not perfect is great because it is another tool that will help maintain better diabetes control.  I am so so excited.

I hope all love the day! Thanks for stopping by and reading

A while back I wrote a post about a new study I was participating in. A study dealing with helping my disease, diabetes. Well, I have my first admission today in which i will be staying the night in the hospital.

I arrived early this morning.  They got me all settled in. It has been one heck of a day full of craziness and some calmness. Most of the staff is wonderful to have work with you – nurses, doctors, engineers, and this is a teaching hospital so you sometimes have those that are learning too. I have to eat at specific times and am only allowed to eat certain things (no caffeine. Ahhh!). I have blood drawn very often throughout the day and night. Things go right and things go wrong. When they go wrong you sometimes have to act swiftly to make them work again. It is stressful sometimes and funny all rolled into one

Today one of the main parts of my job for this study was biking for 30 minutes. Hahahahahaha!!! Most would probably laugh at that.  As i think i have already explained I am not really an exerciser.  But you know what they still need the non-fitness type like me

and after biking on the most uncomfortable stationary bike, sweating my butt off, had wires coming off and out of me from all different kids of places, in front of lots of people (embarrassing) i returned to my bed.

I biked with out any problems, had great blood sugars

and after all that don’t think I look half  bad?

Here’s to hoping i can sleep tonight! Right? We shall see what I look like in the morning
