Graphic Style

I be cheatin' this take. I have pictures I could share, I just don't like any of them. It happens.
Instead, a filler of a different sort I'm sharing with you today. It's a sneak peek, if you will.

Depending on which blogs you stalk, err, follow, you may have seen it. If not, you will very soon. [raising eyebrows repeatedly and grinning]

Ha. Every time I see this graphic I laugh. It is kinda freaky; my encapsulated floating head; my head on a platter. Or somethin'.

Any who.
This graphic was way fun to make. I love me some Photoshop.
What spawned the new graphic, some new colors and even a new name is a story I am still working on. I am a work in progress, as is this project. I'm a perfectionist or I try to be at times. Really, I am a tweaker. I am rarely satisfied with an original idea; I like change. Oh and a little thing called control.

So with that in mind, PUMPed UP just may have had it's final week. It will still be here. Maybe I will miss it, maybe I won't. But I was in need of a change. I still am actually. I'm also still working on that change, as mentioned above.

When I am ready to present the change, I'll let you know.

In other news, I am going through a really rough time. The last time I was here (mentally) was a long time ago and under worse circumstances. This means I won't be blogging for a bit. Probably won't tweet as much.
I have some things I need to do. Some things I really need to get a hold of, a grasp on.

Until next time.....it's been fun PUMPed UP. It's been fun.

Worn Bum

Last week I enjoyed a five day trek with my site in my left bumcheek. I had amazingly awesome blood sugars. Ranging from 80 mg/dl to 140 mg/dl. It started before that site change but continued on. During some serious stress and a monthly visit, mind you. Isn't that nice. I feel like crap and Diabetes decides to play nice? I guess I'll take it. I sure wasn't stressing about my blood sugars now was I. [shaking head]

Just before I decided it was probably time to end the five day streak, my blood sugars soared to 179 mg/dl then back down to 133 mg/dl. Lovely. I did not want to let go of this real estate. It was working.

I finally gave in though. Dealt with a 244 mg/dl post site change. Ha, I just noticed that I tweeted wrong. Why can you delete your tweets but not edit? #rhetorical

Then this happened. A frickin' awful 56 mg/dl nine hours after my site change? Seriously? Why? Yeah, the many questions we Type 1s ask and almost never get an answer to. Hey pancreas, can you hear me? No? Not good. (<--That was not what I said out loud while typing this. Fill in your own response. Go on now. It's fun.)

I went back to sleep after the messy frantic meal, woke up with an awful headache, decided soon after it was smart to not have photographed the hypofreaked trail I left and attempted to get on with my day, despite high blood sugars. Funny how I blamed the work I was doing. Ha.

Which continued. Which made me think to post about it. And now here we are, worn bum. Here we are. [rapid blinking]

Funny side note but relevant. It's funny because those who don't know, simply don't know and I would rather laugh than cry or yell, any day. So they usually spew, ok that's harsh. They usually dispel some foreign letters and sounds that I just cannot translate. I mentioned this site fun I had to someone. Their response:

"Can't you just put in a new site in the exact same spot on the other side?"

My quick response:

"Sure. Doesn't mean I will get the same results. The constant in Diabetes is change."

I left it at that. It's difficult to explain to those who don't know.

Oh, Diabetes. You sure are fun.
