apushatayid- We’re talking about people that b’h have very good control….there’s no reason not to go ahead with a shidduch if they take care of themselves and have good A1c’s.
reb- okay, I dont really want to post too many details here ..im sure you can understand but just to calm you down ill give you a bit 🙂 After I told him he did think about it for a couple of days..but then eventually bh came back with the answer 🙂 He is a typical Yeshiva guy (learning in Lkwd-hope that doesnt give him away JK LOL!) so I dont think that Yeshiva guys are less open to such a thing..it depends on the particular boy. The right person and good person can look beyond the D and see whats inside…
Dont ever worry that your shidduch will be affected negatively because of the D cuz that’s not possible. Hashem runs the world and He is in charge of bringing two people together no matter what!!
(If you ever want/need more details when the time comes iyh we can try to get in touch- I would love to help..encourage etc..)
dx3- told him on the fourth date..just basically outa the blue. He was shocked!! but bh!!!
Oh! and enjoy the shabbos!!!!! I wish I could come! I guess it’ll havta wait till next year bz’h:))))))
Hope you’ll share the details and inspiration with us when you get back!
Have a great shabbos!!!
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! Iy’H BY YOU ALL BEKAROV, THE RIGHT ONE IN THE RIGHT TIME!!!
Chasdei Hashem everything worked out very well…Like I always said the right boy will acccept us for who we are and that’s exactly how it was baruch Hashem!:) If somethings is bashert it WILL happen!!! You’ll see its the most amazing thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))))))
Keep that in mind everyone and let us keep davening for eachother!
I cant wait to hear more good news from all of you Iyh very very soon!!!!!
MAZEL TOV EVERYONE!!!!!!GUESS WHAT????????!!!!!!!!! I’M BARUCH HASHEM ENGAGED !!!!!!!!:)))))))
Mosh3- I went away for the summer (camp sorta thing) and noone knew about my D. It worked out fine, Baruch Hashem no problems!
So, my first shabbos with the pump was awesome!!!! It was so good to just press a few buttons and not havta go up to my room and shoot! I really love it so far! I cant believe that I didnt get it until now but I guess hindsight is 2020! 🙂 🙂
dx3- I keep the pod on my abdomen and its totally not noticeable. My sister asked me why I wasnt wearing it on shabbbos cuz she couldnt see it LOL! 🙂 How’s it going with the sensor?
Again, Thank you all for your wonderful advice and support!! 🙂
always run..- its mostly for type 1 I think. Type 2 usually dont need such a regimine of insulin.
coffee- Yay!!!! I am sooo excited for you! (although my chances of spotting you now are quite slim!) How does it feel?
Everyone, I started on insulin in my pump today!! I’m totally “pumped” about it 🙂 I love it!! So convenient! no having to find corners and bathrooms to shoot in 🙂
C’mon Princess, of course im still staying positive!!! Are you kidding??! 🙂 🙂
Of course it can get difficult but we have to remind ourselves that right now this is what Hashem wants from us. He wants to see that we care about ourselves and about the body He gave to us and He will help us through it. Just show him that you are trying- but REALLY trying!! Keep davening and keep SMILING!!!
Dont give up trying becuase once you do itll be hard to gather all that motivation up again… you’re doing a lot better than you were when you first joined us over here and just that alone is great!! Keep it up and im praying for ya!!!
YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!!! :)))))) :))))
Princess- I like the CR. I think we should stick to it…what does everyone else think?
Thanks everyone! It feels a bit weird but im getting used to it…so far no complaints bh 🙂 Will let ya all know how it goes.
cofee- Wow!!! Im so proud of you! Keep up the good work!!! 🙂
K everyone!!! Im officially PUMPING!!!!! (with saline but it still counts right? 🙂 Its really cool, i cant wait to do it with insulin already!!
princess- THANK YOU!!! That is so sweet!!! Like I said, it feels great to have all of this support and everyone rooting for me!!!
The trainer is coming Monday iyh and were gonna start with saline. On thursday iyh ill switch over to insulin. I tried getting the doc to start me on insulin right away but she doesnt wanna take the risk…I guess ill have to be patient.
Have a great shabbos everyone!!
Hey this will be my last shabbos on injections iyh!!! YAYY!!!!
dx3- thanks 🙂 Feels good that everyone is cheering me on!! :))
coffee- you have 2 pdm’s? How’d u get 2 of them? how does it work when you change your pod then they both connect to one pod???
coffee- well I saw it when the rep came so I knew what it was gonna look like. Im gonna call the trainer tomorrow iyh. Not sure when she’ll be able to come…they want to start me on insulin right away as opposed to the saline first so im excited cuz that means that when I start i really START!!! Im really excited! cant wait to not have to have these sharps containers :))) (ill stil have them i guess but they wont fill up as fast:)
Do you use the PDM to test your Blood sugars or you use a seperate meter? cuz the medical supply company that my insurance deals with sent me a seperate freestyle meter besides for the PDM? I dont know why?
K everyone!!! guess what????
I GOT MY PUMP!!!! YAY!!!!
The UPS truck that I have been waiting for all day finally showed up!!! Now I have to wait to get trained in..at least I am holding a pump in my hand :))) aaahhh finally!
dx3- amen!!!
dx3- yes you may be right about that too! I am actually in mid of writing an article about postprandial Bg’s for the next FWD newsletter…
It’s not fair I wanna come to the Shabbbaton!!! 🙁 (I bh dont qualify as an older single though :))
reb- Oy! I really feel for you..its so upsetting when you expect it to be a certain number and then its waay higher than that 🙁
Let me ask you, what was your last HgA1c? Was it lower than 8.3? Can you think of anything different that you’ve been doing that could have made such a difference?
Personally, I found that the times when my HgA1c was higher it was becuase my overnight numbers weren;t so good. I think overnight numbers have the biggest impact on overall Hga1c…what do you think?
Just keep strong and know that you can do it!! 🙂 I’m rooting for you reb!!!
Wolf- This is one time I have to disagree with you.
cofee-you took the words out of my mouth… im majorly in suspense!
popa- lol! I am except that I doubt I know her so im not gonna let curiosity kill the cat
Sweet- im seriously on a high for you!!! 🙂 I cant believe it! Do you mind if I ask how it worked with telling the boy about your D? we could all use some advice over here prob
MAZEL TOV SWEETOOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I AM SOOO EXCITED! CANT BELIEVE THIS!~!!!!!!!!!! MAZEL TOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))):))))))):))))))))):)))))
PS. I AM SO CURIOUS WHO THE LUCKY GUY IS!!!
princess- well ur saying it in a positive way but its not such a positive idea 🙂 lol
they just called me from the doc office that they’re filling out the paperwork for me to see if I can get approved. I never knew it would take this longs…im already losing the excitement 🙁
sweet- its hard to tell what I’d say if I wouldnt have D and if a boy would tell me that he did..I dunno..but I do think that if everything else was good and he had great middos and was everything I wanted Id prob go for it..again, its hard to look at it as an outsider once your in it already but I just hope and pray that I will marry a normal, healthy, wonderful boy be’ezras hashem! SOON!
And btw sweet, there are plenty of D’s that married regualar healthy spouses..I dont think that Dx3 sitch is a rarity. bh
umm looks like we have a couple of people saying the same perakim here
How bout if I say 119 from Aleph- mem
I’ll say 110-114 inclusive bli neder.
Ha ha ha!! thats a good one!
sweet- I dont think the girls fam has any rite to be upset. He did exactly what he was told to do according to da’as torah. If they dont want to go ahead with the shidduch they dont have to but they certainly have no right to talk about it with everyone. Also, once your at a point where your ready to tell it means there is some “sort” of relationship beginning to form (I am speaking for those who date) and if that’s the case the other party will be likely to consider you even though there’s this “issue” becuase they can overlook it when comparing it to your middos,personality etc.
happens to be that I have a relative who went out with a boy with D. After the third date the shadchan called her mother to tell that the boy’s side wants to tell them that he has D..etc. In the end they didnt go ahead with the shidduch but I wonder if the boy would have told her directly what would have happened…obviously this was what was bashert but just a thought….sometimes its good to hear it from the source..
sorry for the long post!
I agree with reb and coffee- when your dealing with something that could potentialy be a lifelong partnership you should want to be open with eachother and it also feels good to get it off your chest on your own.
k everyone let me tell you that I am absolutely no Malach! I am a very normal, fun, regular Baiy yakov girl that works on being positive and happy 🙂 Trust me I have my times too when I am not so happy but I really work hard to minimize them. I will say that I probably wasnt always this way (although being happy is part of my nature) and I think that diabetes has made me into a much more positive person. You have to look for the good and then you see it. The thing that makes you strong is really davening and being able to SPEAK to Hashem and tell Him how you feel and just ask him to run your life in the best way possible for you bec only He knows what the best way is!!
(maybe when i wrote tmy last post I was in a very very good mood but definitely shidduchim is the hardest! I admit!!)
sweet- ye ye shidduchim is definitely not easy but in the end all the pain is gonna be worth it cuz well end up marrying the perffect guy who will love us for who we are! whenever things get hard with shidduchim I tell myself that with each bit of suffering as long as I take a lesson and grow from it is gonna get me a better husband!! 🙂 and I truly believe it!!
princess- Dont let go even for one shabbos its not worth it! Just daven very hard before shabbos that hashem should make it easier for you and you’ll have siyata dishmaya! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!
cofee- Im so sorry to hear I really feel bad for you:(! They do say that diabetics need more healing time but im skeptical about it..I never noticed it with myself..very possible that with such a big brake its more noticeable that you need more healing time though
princess- AWESOME!!! I am so proud that your having good numbers today :))))))))) Pleeeese dont feel awful about taking more insulin -remember its good for you!
Mods?? can you please get me in touch with princess?
sweet- Hey that doesnt sound too good 🙁 Why the moods?
dx3- I also dont really see a change in my moods when im high or low..once or twice I realized I was being a little snappy-i think from a low but otherwise no mood swings bh 🙂
cofee-will do iyh!
forever1- Yup will let you know iyh how it goes. I cant wait!!
cofee- awwwww sorry dont take it personally. Be happy that you dont need my consultation but if you want you can call me too 🙂 I’d love to find out who you are btw 🙂
princess- I just noticed your subtitle LOL thats hysterical but I hope it gets changed to something like” keeping it low key” really soon!!!! ha ha im so corny tonight
hey princess! Yes I definitely still believe in the YOU CAN DO IT :))) I have tons of faith in you. I wish I can speak to you in person or at least over the phone cuz I think that will really help. I seriously wish I can spend 48 hours with you and see what we can come up with. Maybe like forever1 said you should get in touch with a certified Diabetes educator. But seriously if you want to contact me ask the mods. I give permission mods!
coffee- im so excited that your booty is coming off but I guess I’ll have to work harder to be sherlock holmes now that you dont have your identifying broken foot! lol
princess- 1 to 7 soundsl like it should probably be a good ratio. But Do u mind if I ask you how much you weigh?? I’m pretty small 5″2 and around 115 pounds. I use 1 per 10. I dont know how much you weigh but it is possible that you need 1 per 5. In either case it sounds to me like counting carbs is the crux of the problem here becuase your saying that ur basal works when your not eating and as soon as you eat you shoot up!
When you say you took LOTS of insulin for supper How much did you take and what did you eat? try to give me EXACT numbers if possible. (btw I agree with coffee, I also see a change in ur attitude 🙂 KEEP it UP!!! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!! :)))
princess??? Where are you? We gotta get workin on ur BG’s!!!! 🙂
cofee- So excited to hear that your almost healed!!! 🙂 BH.
Dont know how much longer I guess probably another week or so cuz I just sent in the paperwork on thursday so I gotta give em some time
princess- Awesome attitude!! Keep it up 🙂 So im glad that your taking more insulin but you NEED to figure out ur ratio cuz guessing is going to get frustrating if you dont have a set amount of insulin that you give for every gram of carbs. Also, if your working with a ratio you wont feel like ur taking so much insulin trust me. K so my ratio is 1 unit insulin for every 10 grams of carbs. So if I eat sandwich of 2 slices of whole wheat bread. There are approx 15 carbs in each slice= 30 grams= 3 units. What wld u do in such a case?
princess- Love the poem!! Thanks so much 🙂 Ur too cute!
so down to business with you, I really want to help you: which one of my options do you think is the correct one. Is it the insulin to carb ratio or the not counting carbs properly? What is your current ratio??
sweet- wow! ur story is really scary!!! I lost like 15 pounds and when hatzala came to my house they told my mother that I am annorexic too but my mother was like “No way!! I know my daughter she’s never had a weight problem and she’s not annorexic!!” he insisted and thought my mother was nuts…Baruch hashem she wasn’t. I’d rather be D than annorexic :))
Lil Sally- Here ill write it again for you dont know what page its on:) I didnt go on a pump cuz I was diagnosed at 18 yrs old and wanted to keep it a secret. It wasnt really a danger for noone to know about it and I thought I can keep a quieter secret that way -which I did. So bh noone knows about my D and I am now glad to be getting off of injections
coffee- LOL ..I see your big into puns these days 🙂
It’s definitely the wireless aspect that’s making me go with it… Also I didnt like that with the medtronic I would havta pull it out from wherever its hiding in order to bolus so basically I FINALLY settled on omni and Im very excited!!!! They said itll probably take around ten days till I get it..I cant wait. Its funny cuz here I was taking all the time in the world making the decision and now im impatient lol!
But I really want to thank all of you here for helping me make the decision. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE AND SUPPORT!!!! You’re the BEST dont know what I’d do without all of you!!! 🙂
Sally- if you read back a bit youll see that I am actually working on getting a pump. Was deciding for the past who knows how long which one to get and today I finally came to the decision……OMNIPOD!!! YAY!!! Im very excited. All I havta do now is call the company 🙂
But the reason I didnt get one till now is a couple of pages backn if you wanna read.
sweet- “Give it a shot” Lol I like the pun!! (Well maybe that’s cuz im still on shots havent decided about the pump yet.. ha ha ah …I think im getting really corny here! Time for bed Gnite everyone 🙂
