Sadly I share another t1d has passed too soon.

Crys Allen, 31, passed away on Sunday. She was the mother of 5 children under the age of 7 and has a loving husband. I was in the typeonegrit group with her, though I do not know her personally. I am sharing the gofundme page for her husband and kids. They do not know the cause but she is a type 1 Diabetic. Donate if you can, as the page says her husbands last paycheck was stolen and they have no money.

Is it possible to have a tape reaction on one spot and not the other?

It is no secret, I love my opsite flexifix tape for my pump sites and dexcom sensors, if a person CAN actually say they LOVE being attached to two medical devices held on by tape every single moment of every day.

Lately when I wear my dexcom on my outer thigh, where the "saddlebag" area is the tape starts to really bother me around the edges. Its super wierd, if I just loosen the tape on the edges it usually stops feeling like its burning. The tape doesnt feel like it's burning anywhere else, its so strange.  Anyone else have a tape reaction in one spot and not another?

Times when I really wish I didnt have t1d the most.

Family gatherings and good food that I want to eat and usually do eat and then the guilt and stupid stubborn ass high blood sugar that follows.

I enjoy living low carb, but damn it, sometimes I want to feel like a regular person. It never works, I dont know why I give in, but I do.

Today sucked royally and so did last weekend.

Why are people such cry babies today?

When and why did society become so thin skinned? Why are people such big cry babies these days?  You cannot say anything to anyone without someone "being offended"! Get over yourselves, don't take everything so personally, unless it is a personal attack, no one is out to attack you or intentionally hurt your feelings at the same time dont make fun of a persons personal battles on purpose, that is not ok or acceptable.

So I fell off the face of the earth, but Im back now.

Life has been busy and crazy but in good ways.  I have not had much free time to dedicate to blogging with 2 kids and a husband and a small farm and dogs and cats.

Tonight I am inspired to blog because of these persistant letters that Hines and Associates keeps mailing to me, for their so called "disease management". Yeah, just saying that makes me want to vomit.  These letters are nothing more than more of the fear mongering pamphlets that we get from our doctors offices and hear about from all of our family and friends. This most recent pamphlet is about teeth, gums and eye care. Yeah, GEE AFTER 17 YEARS I had NO IDEA. Come on.
