Post Number One

So, I figured it's about time I start blogging (again). I was a pretty dedicated blogger a few years back while in university but have since been on hiatus. I'm not sure which direction I want to take with this either; maybe a mish-mash of everything. A little diabetes here, a little nursing there, a little wedding business here, a little... I could go on.

A few things about me: I have been a T1 diabetic for 12ish years now. I'm 24. I'm a registered nurse working in a medical-surgical ICU. One of my medium to long-term goals (depending on how long I want to stay in ICU) is to be a Certified Diabetes Educator. My fiancée and I bought a home about a year ago now (there will likely be posts pertaining to this). My fiancée and I are getting married in July 2012 (there will also be posts about this). I'm Canadian. I'm a bit of a techie nerd and have a semi-love affair with my iPhone. I'm into fitness and healthy eating (will likely post about my trails and tribulations with the same, just because I say I'm "into it" doesn't mean I'm good at it :))

So far I'm impressed with my control over the ol' bg (blood glucose) levels this holiday season. Despite the drinks, yummy snacks and family meals I've been able to maintain fairly "tight" control. Usually when eating different foods I'm higher when I wake up in the morning but I woke to a lovely 6.7 this am. Usually at times like this I'm always wearing my CGM sensor (continuous glucose monitoring). However, after my work Xmas party, my sensor fell out while prepping for bed and my cat ran off with it. I found it a few days later and haven't felt compelled to re-insert yet. Soon though, I'm sure.
