Strange Pulse

I started on the insulin pump yesterday. So far it’s gone good–my blood sugars have been great. Except I got up at 3am to test and check how it’s going overnight, and I was really high. I’m not sure if it’s from the pizza I had for dinner, or if I’ll need to adjust my nighttime settings. I’ll have to get up and test at 3am for the next couple nights to find out.

It’s weird, being connected to a machine, and knowing I’ll need to be connected to it for the rest of my life. It’s different with injections. I mean, it’s still weird, being so completely dependent on medication (if you can call insulin that). But having it permanently connected to you is different.

Anyway, I’m excited about it. All I have to do is tell it how many grams of carbs I’m eating, and it does the rest.

I’ll try to take some pictures sometime and post them.
