What bloodwork?

I went to the endocrinologist on April 24th and she wrote me a lab slip to get my bloodwork done at a lab closer to my house.

Have I done that yet?

Nope.

Do you know today's date?

July 27th.

My appointment was over 3 months ago. In fact, I'm supposed to go back to my doctor's in less than a month. I have a ton of excuses why I haven't gone and none of them are really good. (Yeah, moving, living 30 miles away, moving again, buying a house, doing house things, work, gym- all of those are pretty terrible excuses).

Why does this bother me, you ask? Because my morning numbers suck the big one. Like 300 mg/dl suck. I've tried adjusting my basals, but something isn't right.

I also own a Dexcom that I am out of sensors for. Again, bad excuses.

Well, excuses NO MORE. For the next month, I am writing down everything I eat and every blood sugar. And I am bringing it all to my appointment in August.

And by next Friday, I am going to get my lab work done.

And in other news...

So it's been awhile since I've written here and basically alot has happened since then. In fact....
- I bought a house
- I moved out of my apartment and into my in-laws
- I lived there for several weeks
- I moved into my new house
- I painted and decorated and continue to try and make our cookie cutter place look more like "us"

I also got the chance to attend the Children with Diabetes Conference, which was awesome (as always!).

Hopefully, I can get back to blogging and share with you more details about our new house and my life in the 'burbs!
