This guy is a good diabetic!

Wow, as I was watching this video I was noticing all the things this guy does in his routine that I don't do, but know that I really should do. He actually changed the needle in his finger-pricker-thing!! Haha, any diabetic knows that we change that needle every few days; even the good diabetics forget to change that needle. Then again, judging by what a great sport this guy is he probably checks his blood sugar before EVERY meal and after EVERY exercise, etc. That's not me haha. Then, this guy actually RECORDS his blood sugars IN HIS COMPUTER!! He has an entire system set up to keep track of his glucose levels!! I am LUCKY to remember to write down my blood sugars. Usually, I just bring in my glucometer with me to the doctor's office and give it to the nurse who then hooks it up to some computer and prints out all my records for me. What confused me about this oh-so-great-diabetic is that his blood sugar was 152. I have days where I guess what my blood sugar is and inject insulin based on how I am feeling that day, and when I do check my blood sugars are usually less than what his was. AND he isn't on the insulin pump which basically means he has to be much more careful with what is in his diet. He uses an insulin pen though, which makes it more flexible in that he can dial up short-active insulin before every meal, which somewhat works like an insulin pump, its just a shot with nothing attatched to you instead of an insulin pump that is connected to your body. Anyway, I think if I did what he did my blood sugars would be amazing. Ahh, if I weren't so lazy, what a life it would be.

Ps. Obviously he is not a lazy person at all because not only does he do all of these things in his routine, he has time to record them on video and post them up on youtube.com

It'd be pretty funny if his entire video was just for show and in real life he's just another insulin junkie ;) haha
