I just read your Strangely Diabetic blog and can relate to nearly everything you said. That will probably change to “absolutely everything”, but I haven’t received my insulin pump yet. I have wonderful support at home and am diligent about testing. My biggest challenge is not being able to bring my glucose levels down enough not to fall asleep at work after a meal or snack, even using a fast acting insulin such as Humalog. It wouldn’ t be so bad, except I snore. Loudly. I would have to say that the falling asleep and snoring is the only embarrassing thing. Fortunately, I am hidden away in my own large cubicle, and I keep a fan running for white noise, and also because stagnant air also puts me to sleep. All of this is to say, I appreciate your candid description of how diabetes affects your life and your determination to control it. All the best!
