No Matter Who You Are
So in the week since my birthday and party have passed, I wish I could say I had some epiphany about life or something. However, it's mostly the same ol' things I always know.
And diabetes-wise? Well, let's just say I took a quick break from my Dexcom to let my sites rest a bit, but as a result of said Dexcom, I did remember to check my blood a fair amount on my own. That's one thing I slip up on constantly--remembering to poke my finger at the bare minimum 4 times a day. Honestly, that is the biggest change I can make for myself this year.
Tonight, I will slap that sensor back on and get back in the CGM saddle. Tomorrow, I am off to the CWD Focus on Technology conference where I will be among many beeping glucose meters, buzzing robot pancreases (pancreai?), and of course, fellow people with diabetes and their families. Best of all, I will be in the good company of a bunch of D-Bloggers. And you know what happens when we get together.
(Author's Sarcastic Note: We eat carbs and drink alcohol! Noooo! Call the diabetes police!)
Anyway, I'm sure it will be fun, and informative, and potentially a place where I can pick up some diabetes swag? Like, a prettier skin for ye olde Dexcom? Eh, my lunches are already paid for and I get a free t-shirt. Keep an eye out for pictures, recaps, and everything else.
I have a theme song today. Just a reminder to put myself out there. Sometimes my biggest obstacle is my attitude, sometimes it's my fears. But I feel rockstar mode coming on, and I hope it sticks around.
Here's to a weekend of hopeful things and realizing you ARE a shining star, no matter who you are. No matter what your pancreas does or doesn't do.

5 Years and Then Some
Did you know that the traditional 5-year anniversary gift in the UK is sugar? [Well, that's at least what Wikipedia says, and Wikipedia is never wrong, right?]
One of the things that got me interested in blogging in the first place was visiting the forums at the American Diabetes Association and seeing moms there fretting that their Type 1 kids would never find love or happiness. Maybe no one would marry their sons or daughters because of diabetes. Somebody needed to prove those moms wrong and reassure them that everything was gonna be okay.
I was engaged when I started Dorkabetic, then got married a couple of months later. Matt has never known me without diabetes. We were together when I got my first pump. While diabetes can cause some worries that I'm sure couples without diabetes don't have to deal with, it shouldn't stop you from being in love. I mean, just look at how disgustingly cute we are. I will give you a high blood sugar just by merely showing you these photos!
Mmm, carbs. There we are, on our big day. Matt is seriously my best friend, my favorite person in the universe. I am so glad we found each other. I couldn't ask for a better husband.
Plus he's just so freaking cute. I can't stand it.
Happy Anniversary, Matt! <3
