So my speech at the JDRF breakfast went pretty well I think :) I was proud of it anyways and I got a lot of compliments and several people who said that I was really honest and raw about what it's like to live with the disease which to me is about the highest compliment that I could have gotten so YAY! haha ;)
I have also been making a really concious effort to exercise everyday. I want to be more fit & healthy (and looking great in a swimsuit is just an added bonus! haha). So I have been jogging/walking 4 miles everyday in addition to riding my horse & all the stable work that I have to do everyday.
Also, I changed the "local" of my infusion set today a little bit (I use the minimed Sure-T incase anyone is wondering). I hate when I wear a higher waisted skirt or jeans and it rubs on the waistband and irritates it so I moved it up a good 3 inches higher on my back then I usually put it and I think that it will help. It didnt hurt any worse going in (though I was a little worried about maybe running into a kidney or something lmao). And I think it will also help with the absorbsion to have it somewhere that's not so scarred up from years of use. I really, really, really HATE having it on my stomach at all so I am just going to not use that place ever again lol. The end.
Thanks for reading all that!
