...STICK YOURSELF

This may sound like a ridiculous question, but I still have to ask. What is the best way to stick yourself when giving a shot...in this case for me, it is byetta? Sometimes I do not feel a thing and other times I can feel my skin tearing as it is punctured. I wonder if I am not doing it straight or I am doing it straight and if that even matters. I am just tired of the ones that feel like a little honey bee stung my belly.

Hello Again!!!!!!!

Hello again everyone out there in the Diabetes Blogosphere! I have not posted in some time for whatever reason or another. But I am back.

Since I blogged last, I've been on 2 fabulous vacations. In June, we went to Disney World with the whole entire family. That was an absolute blast. More recently, in December I got away on a 5 day cruise with the hubby and friends. I don't know about you, but my diabetes control tends to go by the wayside when it comes to vacations. I sleep later, sleep less or sleep more, eat at odd hours, and it all just catches up to me at some point. I try to be good, but it is hard at times.

One very positive thing, I started weight watchers when I got back from the Disney Trip. It is about time that I get the extra junk in the trunk out!!! I am happy to say that I have lost 30 pounds already!! YAY ME!! So I am feeling better and will need some new clothes very soon. I am looking forward to that! I am just amazed at how changing my diet and exercising can make me feel really good. I even adopted a cute pup named Pepper. I will have to get some pics up here soon. She is a boxer/terrier mix and she has a lot of energy. She makes me go walking even during those times when all I want to do is channelsurf on the couch.
