Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been really busy...Heres whats been going on:

• Job on the beach didnt work out. My insulin went bad in my pump, and I ran 400mg/dL+ all day long, my highest being 525mg/dL. It wasnt a good time, thats for sure. And, despite applying sunscreen three times, I got some crazy sunburn.
• I told you all that I got the Cozmo approved. Well, it turns out I didnt. The insurance called on the 19th and said it was approved, but when we called Smiths, they said it wasnt because my oh so lovely endocrinologist REFUSED to sign the appeal!!! Boy was I mad. And to top it off, she was on vacation this past week so we couldnt do anything about it! Needless to say, my mom will have a nice heart to heart with her come Monday, and if you knew my mom when it comes to my health...I would NOT want to be in Dr. Seifers place during that conversation.
• My numbers have been outrageous. My meter average is over 300mg/dL, and despite almost doubling my insulin, I cannot get back under control...(and the endo won't sign the appeal for another pump that might benefit me...UGH!)
• My dad is due back late tonight. e was on a fishing trip in Canada for the past 9 or 10 days. I miss him, and I'm glad he's on his way home...last time he called he was in NY state, so within the next few hours he should be arriving home. =)
• The 4th of July is this Friday, and I am soooo excited! I will get to see all of my family and friends. We have a great time. My dad is on the grill all day, and everyone is swimming, eating, playing volley ball, soccer, and just hanging out all day. It really is a fun time.

Thats about it...I'll keep you all posted on the Cozmo issue, and how the talk with Dr. Seifer goes. Hope everyone is well!

Cozmo Got Approved

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. School's out, and I have been super busy. My job starts this Sunday, and I am very excited, though a bit nervous about how diabetes will behave. Now for the good news...My Cozmo got approved today! I just have to wait for the aproval letter that the insurance is sending in the mail, and then I can get the pump shipped. :D I am so happy. No more MM or OmniPod problems, but a nice, new, feature-rich friend to help me better manage my diabetes. I will be all hooked up by next week. And now I am off to go watch a movie with some friends. I will keep you all posted on my Cozmo Adventure! :)

Random Things

Oh boy...where to start? Lets see...my posts have been scattered about, and I havent really had much time. I had my job orientation yesterday morning, and then spent a few hours on the beach. Today was a day full of lows. I was at the nurses office during most of the school day, which wasnt good because we are starting to review for finals as they start next week! The lowest low of the day so far has been a lovely 44mg/dL...20 minutes AFTER I ate lunch, and didnt cover. Hmm...what else...my job. I am beach badge checking over in Brant Beach on LBI. I'm way excited to start later this month! It will be a very new experience for me though. I will be out walking back and forth between three blocks on the beach for six hours or so a day, for five days a week. Managing my blood sugar is going to be a challenge, a challenge that I can hopefully get a hold on so no one has to break out the glucagon! Sorry about the randomness of this post...like I said, I am all over the place...or maybe I didnt say it, but I'm saying it now, lol. Anyways, I'm off to go do some homework! Have a great afternoon, and I will try to post again soon. :) Update- My bloodsugar is 54mg/dL, which might explain some of the randomness...or not. ;)
