Noticed my continuous blood sugars were really causing issues. I started to take a more active roll in trying to control them, but I felt so helpless. I had such a hard time figuring out how many carbs were in the foods I ate. I was so scared I would go to low and not realize it until it was to late (I still have this fear). But, it seemed like no matter how much I tried to gain control, I just couldn’t. I still have this problem today. There are just soooo many factors that affect blood sugar levels it is crazy!

Finding Brodie has turned out to be an absolutely priceless wonder for my health. He is always there to cheer me up and doesn’t shy away when I have to take my insulin shots. Now I only wish I could turn him into a diabetic service dog, but being so hyper-active (him not me! haha) I don’t see how I could accomplish that.

I also found out the hard way I have a new allergy to Bactrum. Strange to me since I could take it as a kid, but not anymore! Scary to be since I am already allergic to Penicillin, and have built up a resistance to a lot of other antibiotics… hopefully the researchers can find some more drugs to help soon!
