Six Years and Still Growing Strong!
Hey everyone! It is the month of May and something happened to me this month almost six years ago. I've told this story many times and I love sharing it because it makes me feel like I've done something good or made someone feel good about themselves. So, let get started!
On May 28, 2008 at 3:30pm, I went to the hospital because my kindergarten teacher (love her) saw that something wasn't quite right with my body. My mother took me to the emergency room. Finally when it was my turn to go, the nurse had checked my blood glucose, which I knew nothing about, and it was 500 plus. That wasn't good for any diabetic at all. I was then in the hospital from Wednesday to Sunday afternoon. I was connected to an IV. An IV is a machine used to give fluids in the body when no insulin has be producing. It monitors how many hours of fluid it's going to give me. After being in the hospital for almost half a week, I was sent home, but not just by myself. I went home with something called insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that enables glucose to enter most cells. My body wasn't producing enough insulin, so that's how I got diabetes. My ribs were able to be seen, I got skinner, and used the bathroom a lot!
Almost six years later, I'm bigger, better, and stronger. Sometimes I do feel that diabetes can effect my lifestyle and the way that I live, but I just remember that I'm in control of it and that:
NO WEAPON FORGED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER, AND I WILL REFUTE EVERY TONGUE THAT ASSESS ME. I love my life, friends, family, and I wouldn't want any other way.
That's all for now!

Monthly Blood Glucose
Hello everyone! As I said in my list blog post, I wanted to focus on not just fashion, music, and art, but also my health. By now, most of you know I'm a diabetic and I have to take insulin and check my blood sugar. (Don't be alarmed by the word blood. Been doing this for almost 6 years) Today I went to the doctor and here's a little update!
My blood glucose:
It's high in the morning time, good at lunch, and mildly high when I come home from school. I'm doing good when it comes counting the carbs and putting in my numbers. Yet, on the other hand, I need to remember if I'm eating a snack in between my meals, to count the carbs and take more insulin. Also, I sometimes forget to cover for the food that I eat. I just take insulin for my blood sugar. Otherwise, I'm doing awesome!
A1C Level:
For the people who don't know what an A1C level is, it's a test to measure glucose buildup in the blood over the past 2-3 months. My A1C level is doing fine. It was better than it was before.
Blood Pressure:
I'm doing fine. Nothing is wrong with my blood pressure! :)
Height and Weight:
I'm still 5"2 and I'm 98.5 pounds.
Blood test(s):
Amazingly there was no blood test that needed to be done this time. When I go back to the doctor, I guarantee I will have to!
Overall:
My doctor said that I've improved with my blood sugar and managing to take the right amount of insulin. She believes that I can do better with managing my sugar in the morning and when I come home from school.
That was my monthly update on my blood glucose!

☯ Wassup Everyone! ☯
Hey everyone! I'm back with bigger and better things in my life and on this blog. I was in a funk for a little while when I was on break. I decided to continue my Divergent series because I was about to delete it, but I think some people might actually like it. Another thing I want to focus on in my blog is with my blood sugar. I think I would like to have a weekly or monthly update about my blood glucose. There's many things I'm going to be doing on my blog! So please stay tuned for more!
Love, Peace, & Happiness
