Nice x-ray! Aren’t PICC lines wonderful things? I’ve been reading your posts & I can’t fathom being dx’d with T1D @ quite possibly one of the most difficult times in your life. I feel for you & totally understand where you’re coming from (your blog “I’m an ass” is just about heart-wrenching as it gets). I was wondering if you thought about switching to pump therapy (although I saw your A1C was near perfect) ? I just know that it offers a lot of us diabetics more options & flexibility with our crazy, erratic lives (especially working in the healthcare field).
I’m waiting to see if I’ll be accepted into grad school this fall for Acute Care Nurse Practitioner & while that is anxiety enough, I know I’ll be facing many challenges with my T1D when I enter this super fast-paced, crazy-busy Masters program. At least I’ve had 16 years experience of my D to draw back on & don’t have to worry about a family/children, learning about my new Dx. I think it’s amazing how far you’ve come already & I applaud you for accomplishing everything you’ve already done (clinical trials, dropping your A1c, etc). I’m always suggesting new dx’d T1’s to visit or become a counselor at a summer diabetic camp, but it looks like your schedule is overwhelming to say the least. But, if you have a chance to at least visit one for a day, the experience can be priceless.
