The Sugar Fairy



LOL! I have to share a funny story. There is this lady I work with she is a diabetic (T2), she knows I am diabetic also. She was walking around the office passing out candy. The sugar fairy is what I will call her. She said,"Does anyone want candy? it's not sugar free". The Sugar fairy laid a few pieces on my co-workers desk. Then she placed a few on another co-workers desk. The Sugar Fairy made it to my desk; I was on the phone. She asked, "Would you like some candy? it's not sugar free." I let her know I didn't want any. She asked again. I waved her away. She said, "I guess you don't want any candy because it's not sugar free. I don't follow my diet." My thought is what makes you think I want to mess mines up...I don't get the Sugar fairy at all, she is trying to sprinkle me with sugar treats, has she lost her mind??? I can't say she doesn't know any better because she does. Too Darn Stubborn to follow the rules of trying to maintain her diabetes and preventing diabetes.

24 hrs later

I know I made the right choice by choosing the OmniPod! I like it. The Pod is comfortable and I can't feel it when I sleep. I took a shower and it still is hanging on. I had to lows, 1 before breakfast and 1 right before lunch; I gave myself too much insulin, I didn't need to do a bolus for snack. For the most part....my numbers are looking good. I might have to lower my morning basal dosage.
I went to see a dietitian today, she had a lot of information and she informed me on a lot of new things; I haven't been to a dietitian since I was first diagnosed. I didn't know you are suppose to subtract the fiber from Carbs and a person should only have 3g of fat per 100 calories. I didn't know that Did you???
I showed all of my co-workers my POD. Genifer (buddy) asked, "What happens when you have relations?" I replied, "It stays on." LOL She said, "It wouldn't bother you." I said, "Nope, Scott (husband) doesn't care about my Pod." I thought that was funny, LOL.

Be Blessed
