I have a new monitor! It is called Freestyle Lite and the BEST MONITOR EVER! It takes less blood than the One Touch and it is a lot smaller! A TON of people I know with diabetes have the Freestyle and told me that it was amazing, but I thought they were wimps because their monitor took less blood and that they weren't "brave" enough to use the One Touch. Then I realized that this new monitor is going to save me a lot of blood! That is true. I haven't been feeling my finger pricks and my fingers don't hurt as often when I prick them! This is the life...
I am also happy to report that the new OmniPod is coming out soon and I can't wait! Soon pumping will be SO much easier! I enjoy the smaller things in life, like the birds calling in the morning, and the new advances in pumps! (tee hee!) I also like the fact that there is no tubing, but some of my friends have told me that I might lose the PDM (Personal Diabetes Manager) that controls the insulin basals and boluses. Which is probably true, but we will see when it actually comes out and we need to fight insurance to actually GET it. Ugh life has its ups and downs...
