Stuff.

   Sorry I haven't written for a LONG time. Anyway, I titled this post "Stuff", because I'll be talking about a few different things XD. First off, my first day of middle school starts TOMORROW. Summer went by way to quickly, it stinks! XD. Luckily I have a pump, which should make middle school a little easier. But honestly it's not about handling my diabetes that I'm worried about. It's the thought of new people, new teachers, new subjects, new everything! (And I'm worried about how much drama will be going on... XD) But I'm also excited for all of that, too. New things can be fun sometimes! :). But that's enough about middle school. Back to diabetes. Recently I went to the Sacred Heart Children's Hospital, and met with Dr. Gearheart. We started talking about CGMs (Continous Glucose Monitor). A CGM is a little device that can tell me where my blood sugar is headed. It's very useful, because that means I won't have to prick my finger as often (in order to check my blood sugar, I have to put a drop of my blood into a small machine, and it tells me what my blood sugar is)! For the CGM, I insert a "site" into my skin, and it uses Bluetooth to connect to a small device, which will show my where my blood sugar is heading. One site can last a whole week! My parents are ordering a CGM. I'm excited! :D
