the pump
I was diagnosed with diabetes 9 years ago. I started using the pump
exactly 18 days ago, and I am amazed at how easy it is for me to
control my sugars. I can exercise and not get low sugars. i have
much more freedom, and much less frustration with highs and lows. My
sugars have been in the normal range 90% of the time this past week.
Although the first week and half were tough trying to find the
balance. I am also finding the "carb counting" frustrating. I am
slowly getting adjusted to it. I think this was the best decision
that I have made in regards to my diabetes. I am a medical student
and it is really sad to see patients blind, amputated limbs and on
dialysis. I am glad that there is something that I can do to prevent
that happening to me.
