No More Shots :D

I have finally switched off of shots and I'm now on my old MiniMed. I switched off of shots because I was running out of spots to put them. I like being back on the pump because I'm a snacker. Taking a shot every time I ate was really annoying.

I also lost my Dexcom transmitter! Oops :/
My Dexcom expires on the 22nd so I will be able to order a new one soon.

I ordered a new pump, the Medtronic Revel. I'm really excited to try it because the pump I'm using now is around 6 years old. A lot of my diabetic friends have the Revel and they said it's great!

When I went to the endocrinologist I got my A1C test results back and mine was an 8.9! I am now correcting everything over 100 to get it down. This high A1C is because I forgot to bolus and correct, or I overcorrected lows. I have stopped doing that and now I am trying extremely hard to get my A1C down!

Using this new system I have has really been helping my blood sugars! I haven't been over 200 in around 2 weeks and instead of feeling crappy all the time, I'm actually feeling great! Now I am low a lot. Oh well. I don't go low all the time, but at least once a day I am low, which is a lot better than being high.

Well thanks so much if you read this far!!
