A Good Experience


2 weeks ago at a very small and informal Diabetes conference at the college, we got to listen to a totally inspiring story of Miss Idaho's diabetes diagnosis and the reasons why she chose to pursue Miss Idaho and Miss America.  It brought tears to my eyes as Sarah sat there and listened to words of advice about not trying to be what your peers want, but to figure out who you are and be the best you can.  She learned about using your disability to make something awesome out of your life.  Until now, Sarah has been so admit about not having a pump, tonight was the first time she's actually considered it.  Through Sierra, she saw that a pump does not hinder your beauty or make you weird.

Carb Counting Mama


I just counted my 915th meal (that doesn't count the many, many desserts and snacks in between).  It would turn you into a carb zombie too! I am a pro.
