Saturday Snapshots
This is the sixth day of Diabetes Blog Week, created by Karen over at Bitter~Sweet Diabetes. We're supposed to have a Snapshot Saturday here today. While some will likely tell little stories with their reels of photos, I've got nothing... The brain is tapped. So, here are some random photo highlights from my recent D-Past. Enjoy.
One of the many many cool things that happened at JDRF Government Day in March was meeting Olympic gold medalist Gary Hall Jr, who I looked up to as being a Type 1 swimmer who swam all four years of high school. Snapping a photo with this guy was simply awesome - it was great meeting you, Gary!
Recently attended this awesome event that raised thousands for the Diabetes Youth Foundation of Indiana... AND my loving and wonderful spouse got up there on stage for an act with a few others. While they didn't win the ultimate prize, they were all 10s in my book!
My meter is pimped out. And that's just cool to say.
Usually, this is how I wear my pump - on my beltline using a holster for quick and easy access.
But sometimes, crap happens and for no reason the holster just snaps. For no apparent reason.
And so, I resort to my Backup Supply of cases and holsters as seen below.
Lastly, I leave you with one of my favorite D-Related photos ever snapped... World Domination Plotting Shadow Cat. Yes, that is what you think it is on her head. This is the reason my cat hates me...

AFTERNOON UPDATE: Lastly, what happens when you see a 39 mg/dL on your BG meter in the middle of the afternoon? Well, you may very well go for this below:
Two apple juice boxes, 2 pudding cups, one yogurt,
one applesauce, and five little fruit snack packs.
Can you see overtreating??? I certainly can.
And for the record: my BG a few hours later hit 500 mg/dL.
Got it back down In Range by bedtime, though, so there's that...

So what do these pictures teach us? Um... I have no idea. But I'm sure you can glean something from them. Or not. Hope you at least enjoyed them.

How cool that you met Gary Hall, Jr!
Your cat looks just like my childhood cat. Funny photo!

Gary Hall is uber-tall!!!
Great pix.
Bummer on the 39 though.
and i know who to call the next time i need a clip or holster. holy crap, mike! ;)
That last pic...wow. It seemed so familiar. Sometimes I wonder if D is different when you grow up. That picture affirms it's still the same stuff, different day.
Meow. Love that one ;)
