And On Goes My Blood Sugars...

   Sorry I haven't written for a while! Anyway, I just went to the beach for a week! It was SO fun, and my blood sugars were perfection! XD. Except for the last two days. They were up in the 200s. We were shocked - they had been SO good! From then on they've been from the 200s to the 300s! At first we thought there was something wrong with the part of my pump that holds insulin. So we changed that out today. Didn't work. We now are having to change how much insulin my pump gives me every hour. We think the honeymoon phase of my diabetes is actually ending! ...that sounds weird. Let me explain what the "honeymoon phase of my diabetes" is. The honeymoon phase happens when you are first diagnosed with diabetes. The honeymoon phase is when you still have a few beta cells (the insulin makers) left. It lasts from about 6 months to a year. Unfortunately, my parents and I think that mine is ending after only four months of diabetes. It may not sound like it's THAT bad, but it is. Okay, just picture a... roller coaster. When the honeymoon starts ending, your blood sugars are a roller coaster. You hop on, and the cart starts climbing higher and higher (like my blood sugars). Then suddenly, down you go! up down, left right, upside down, up, and all over the place (like my blood sugars. XD.). That, is what diabetes is XD.
