Thank you Dexcom!!

I follow many different groups on facebook and other social media platforms about my Type 1 Diabetes, and am so glad for all of the friends I have met across the world that go through the same daily struggles as me.  I LOVE my dexcom CGM and it has totally changed my life.  Planning on doing a more extensive post later about my Adventures with Sexy Dexy (as she has been affectionately named...) but for today I'd like to share this image.  I've just started wearing my sensor in my arm, and this is a big deal for this super vain chick.  I hate it when people ask a million questions.... "You must have it really bad!" "Does that hurt??" "Oh wow, I would NOT wear that."


This was shared by L Katie Raley on the Dexcom group on Facebook.This BEAUTIFUL child has a life closer to normalcy because of this device.  I wish we all could have one, always, without fear of it costing us an arm and a leg.  It'd be nice if the world spent a little more time to educate themselves too.... but....This kid seems ready to take on the world now, huh?? What an inspiration!  if she can rock the arm sensor, I can too!

Endure.

I would just like to say.... Good job you.

You aren't anywhere near finished.  You've still got quite a bit to conquer.  But can you believe you've came this far?


I felt like writing this post today and patting myself on the back a bit.   It has been a rough couple of months for me, personal life, work life, career life... and my health has been simply a pain in the rear.  With all of these things working against me, I truly felt multiple times that I was either about to throw in the towel or have a nervous break down.  My anxiety has truly given me a run for my money lately, and with the combination of deteriorating friendships, moving, and managing to stay sane at my 9-5 daily grind....I've wondered quite a few times what is the point of all of this?

Instead of being a quitter, I have learned more resiliency.  And I've learned to cut out what I don't need and what is doing me a disservice. That's the hardest part... the letting go. but.... That's the only way to survive.  Give it all you've got. That's the point to it all.  We must endure.
