I hope that your had a very good 2009. I started the year with my new Dexcom. The dexcom is a constant Glucose monitor that you change every week. The dexcom has been a huge help for me, it checks my blood every 5 minutes! I love it so much, we had a rough start which was extremely rare. Anyways I highly recommend this product. It is tubeless and it is so small no has noticed unless I point it out! With the dexcom you only need to manually check your blood 2 times a day, to make sure that you have an accurate blood sugar.

It’s me again, Merry Christmas to all. I know that the holiday season can be hard for diabetics because everyone knows that it is time to make festive cookies and trade them, which means it’s hard to get a good carb count. Especially for kids you don’t have a normal school schedule to stay on during Christmas break.

An easy Thing to do if you go to a Christmas party is bring your own and maybe a little something special to have if you don’t want to guess carbs. This will be my first Christmas with diabetes and I am little nervous about it, no more unlimited eating. Well I also can’t believe that it is almost another new year. It seems like just 12 months ago we had new years eve.

That was the day that I was diagnosed! WOW time flies. I can’t believe that it has almost been a year. SEEMS CRAZY TO ME!! Anyways I hope that you enjoy your Christmas and New Years! Merry Christmas and a happy new year from us diabetes diary!

When I was found out that I had diabetes i was very scard because I did not know what it was going effect my life. I stayed at the doctor’s for a long time. The doctor said that I needed to go to HELEN DEVOS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL right then. I waited while my mom called to ask where it was. I cried a lot. I went to Helen devos and then they explained everything to me and then gave me a shot. I was terrified of shots and this was not going to make me happy. I stayed at the Helen devos children hospital for about 5 hours. after that we went home I did not want to go to the  new year eve party because i was to sad. I had to go though and it was not as bad. Thank you for reading my story and I hope you enjoyed it.
