Well, went to the doctor this morning at about 9am. Wasn't too bad- got lost on my way through the hospital and ended up in the wrong building. BUT, a wonderful woman helped me find my way. ^_^ After I got there to check in, I realized my mom still had my Insurance Card, but they still let me in.
So, it turns out, my sugars have been high for a number of reasons. The biggest reason was because my pump wasn't giving me enough insulin, so the doctor fixed that. He also said it was because of my stress. High sugars stressed me out, which kept them high and stressed me out even more. So, it was really just an awful cycle. But, we've fixed it and I just need to monitor my blood sugars from now on!
I like how he personified diabetes. He said, "If you hate your diabetes, which is guaranteed to happen- no one WANTS it- your diabetes will hate you back. You need to suck up to it and it'll do better for you. Your pancreas is no longer making insulin, so you can't just let your body do the work. You have to compromise."
It actually helped me understand better.
The doctor also said eating complex carbs over empty carbs doesn't make a big difference either. Complex carbs tend to be in more healthy foods, but it won't make a difference as long as the insulin is doing its' job.
So, things went well. I also had to have some blood taken for my thyroid pills. Woot! All in all, things went much better than planned! So, I can stop worrying.
I've got three new pics to post! I'll get them up ASAP, I just need to ink and scan 'em. Incidentally, they're all of Angelo, but he's just so easy and fun to draw!
Well, have a great weekend! My friends have Spring Break next week! YAY! I'll get to see them! Bai-bee for nows!
