Don't Stop BELIEVing.

* first: my doctor is brilliant. I wish I could be her friend and talk fun science medical things with her.

* it went much better than I thought it would. She acknowledged the hard work I have been doing and she was incredibly encouraging. I feel motivated to keep moving towards my goals of more BG testing and lower A1cs.

* I forgot what it feels like to go to an appointment and leave with a spark of hope or something inside me that is activated….it says keep going. You got this. It’s hard and other people with T1 diabetes experience the difficulties of the disease as well. My struggles are not so unique.

* I see my endo again in 3 months and I want to improve monumentally in that time frame. My expectations for myself might be too high and I at the same time I want to succeed at this so badly. I have plenty of support to do it and I know that I can utilize this support more effectively.

* when I think about better management of T1D I always try to micromanage it. I want to go from low compliance to perfection in zero steps. That’s not how anything works.
