I was doing some tabulations about my history with Type 1 tonight as Facebook posts for Diabetes Month. After posting about my having diabetes for more than 13,100 days I got a few great questions that needed answers. I thought I should put them here....
61500: The number of units of inulin ranging from Beef & Pork R, to Lantus, to Novolog I have injected into my body over those years.
Sometimes too much.
Other times not enough.
Hoping & working towards not needing a 1/2 million more.
10400: Approximate number of times (give or take a 1000 or two) that I have tested my BG using one technology or another.
2555: Number of days I have been on pump therapy. Also, the number of days I have celebrated no longer needing to take shots to deliver insulin.
2: High School track coaches I had that also had Type 1.
1: The number of times a guy told me "I can smell someone who has diabetes. You don't have it".
0: The number of times I felt like these disease would beat me.
Unfortunately, also the exact number of cures for Diabetes.
Still here.
Still choppin'.
