My name is Joanna and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 22. Other than having diabetes I am also an athlete, student, girlfriend, swimcoach, receptionist, boardmember, avid baker, and the list goes on... Interested to learn more? - then read my blog why dont you ;)
I was able to get home today without getting too low, my bs was still at 4.8 when I got home which is fairly low, but still. Also, didn't take insulin with my oatmeal this morning, and my bs was at 5.3 when I got to work!! I definetely need to lower my nightly long lasting insulin now that I am "biking" for 1hr30min per day! Was getting really tired at the end of my work day today, don't understand why I'm so tired every day when I sleep at least 8hrs per night. Went to bed at 9pm last night and couldn't even fall asleep until 45min later... Maybe I'm getting too much sleep?
Made delicious dinner tonight:
Pasta with mushroom, spinach and veggie beef :P yummy!!! And now I have more lunch boxes for this week of work!!! :D
I think I'm gonna start a countdown until C day, the day when Mr. C will arrive! Which hopefully is 4 weeks from this Saturday! Fingers crossed <3
In November 2012 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, in the middle of my last season as an elite swimmer at Cleveland State University, USA. This is my story of how I try to come to terms with that my survival will depend mainly on maintaining a good regime with taking insulin and blood glucose tests for the rest of my life. Since putting the competitive swimming career aside for a more "normal" lifestyle I have picked up triathlon and last year I completed my first Iron Man. My current goal is to become a better runner!
