Thanks everyone who pitched in and helped me purchase my insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor. I, for the very first time since being diagnosed with CF related diabetes, have my blood glucose levels under control!!! What this means is I am at a much much reduced risk of the complications of diabetes such as blindness, kidney problems, heart disease, nerve damage and most importantly due to my CF, risk of infection.
For those familiar with diabetes I was able to lower my A1C from 8.0 a few months ago to 6.0.
How did I gain control of my diabetes? Three things had a large hand in it.
1.) My insulin pump.
2.) Eliminating high fructose corn syrup from my diet.
3.) My Blackberry, where I look up carb counts of foods when I am out and about.
In the next few days I will tell you about each….
Hope all is well!
