It’s been a tough year — last January I had just started daily injections and I was just starting to see some improvement in blood sugar numbers.<\/p>\n
It’s been my toughest teaching year so far. I’ve never had this many resistant students.<\/p>\n
Of course, the last 4 months with the husband on crutches has been tough — but he was released off of them on Monday. The really fun part, is that the doctor has released him to ride bicycles — he suggested that Rich start with a stationary, but has not released him to walk as a form of exercise. More good news — he doesn’t see the doctor again for 6 weeks.<\/p>\n
I’m really glad I went to the insulin pump. I don’t think I would have dealt with the issues I have dealt with as easily. <\/p>\n
I talked with a woman who was considering the pump the other day — and I just can’t imagine relying on daily injections again. Even if I were on a better insulin, I can’t image control being better controlled by the pump, versus controlled by a time released insulin. You sure can’t adjust for exercise — something we were talking about yesterday on the email list.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m glad I have made the decisions I’ve made. I am glad I didn’t wait on the new insurance to see if maybe they would cover the pump. I’ll see soon how they work out with the supplies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
