Today is one of those days. You know the ones. Sorta down. Kinda mopey. A little too high in the glucose department to be chipper. A rogue drawer handle ripped my infusion site out first thing this morning. I then realized I had only one infusion set to my name. And then the insurance frustrations.

The ups and downs!!
And although I'm not a Dr. I will say that with all that you have had to deal with your A1c is ONLY 7.9??? You are doing great!!

Dave,
Can *you* talk to my endo? :) Thanks for the encouraging words. I try hard not to "should" all over myself, and I really like your point--or your doctor's point. It seems level-headed to me. Sometimes we get so caught up in a # or a goal that we lose sight of L-I-F-E and all the joy being on one extreme or the other robs us of.
Thanks for the reminder, and thanks for taking the time to comment!
Best,

Take care, perhaps we will meet up again at a Caribou or a JDRF function
