Finally, after 2 weeks of phone calls, insurance stuff, and waiting, my 90-day Dexcom shipment is here! I am so excited to finally have it in my possession and not worry about having to go off of my Dex again ( or at least not for the next 3 months).

See, the past 2 months have been so off for me. I had gotten used to having my Dex there to tell me when I was high or low. I had gotten to the place where I was comfortable with it’s readings enough to not manually check my bg every other hour. I had finally cut my readings down from 12-15 times.. sometimes even 20 times a day, down to 7 or 8. And, since I would enter my bg into my Dex every time I’d check it, my Dex was rarely ever off more than 10 points.

But since I had ran out of sensors for almost 2 months and the whole reorder ordeal that  I went through 2 weeks ago, I felt as if my safety net was gone. I was on the diabetes tight rope again with nothing to help catch me if I slipped and fell. I saw more 300’s and 30’s than I wished to see. I can only hope and pray my A1c isn’t going to be screwed up after trying so hard back before December’s appointment to get the result I did then.

Speaking of my endo appointment, that is going to be next Thursday, the 18th. I have one at-home A1c test left in my box at home and I plan on using it when I go to my appointment so that I can compare results when they come in. Granted, it takes a week to get the endo’s results back, but hey, at least I’ll know the ballpark figure, right?… maybe?? I hope so.
