Live-abetes 365

**And this project turned out to be a FAIL.  I really wanted to do this, but apparently the discipline wasn’t there.  So, we’ll see if I ever try it again.**

This is where I will post all my photos for Live-abetes 365.

Day 1: 3/13/2009

I was up until 2 a.m. this morning and in the wee hours of the morning I decided to do this project. I took the first photo of the Coke Zero bottle. This is a small luxury I have – a coke that tastes like coke but with none of the sugar! I tend to savory these as I do not drink them often. So, I hope to savory all my small luxuries.

Day 2: 3/14/2009

I went shopping today for a dress. I have to disconnect from my pump for a few minutes so I can get a good look without a huge bump on my side.

Day 3: 3/15/2009

During the weekends I have to check my sugar while I'm out and I just throw my used stuff back in my pouch. Notice the tissue at the bottom, too.

Day 4: 3/16/2009

It's the night before I have to change my insertion point and insulin. Just getting ready for the morning.

Day 5: 3/17/2009

This is the mess left over after changing my insertion point and insulin. Cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, inset30, pump tubing, insulin reservoir, insulin. Taking it out this time made me bleed a bit-see red cotton ball-this will equal a small bruise later.

Day 6: 3/18/2009
It’s a two picture special!

I was starting to feel shaky... was it the caffeine or a low blood sugar. Here's the answer and what's strange is it happened yesterday at the same time.

See the timestamp? Around 10, like the 59. WTH?

Day 7: 3/19/2009

A very Diabetic-friendly dinner: Porcupine meatballs w/ brown rice and tomato sauce, green beans and cauliflower. Total net carbs: 23
