Lake City, SCMy name is Sarah and I have Type 1 Diabetes. I was diagnosed at 4, three months after my birthday. I was on shot therapy from age 4 until 16, then I started on insulin pumps. I currently use an Animas OneTouch Ping insulin pump to deliver my insulin and, along with 8-12 fingerpokes a day, I use a Dexcom SevenPLUS CGM to help monitor my blood sugars 24/7.
I am an insurance agent for South Carolina, a part-time photographer, a diabetes advisor to some blog sites, and the owner of my own diabetes blog site, www.sugabetic.com.
My blog/user name, "Sugabetic", comes from being in the south. Here, you don't have diabetes, you got "tha Suga".
I am excited to be a part of this community and I look forward to sharing my ideas with you guys for living well.
In the meantime, come vist my blog homepage at www.sugabetic.com!

Sarah, great idea to use the cell phone alarm to check blood sugars when involved in activities where one might forget. Even for folks who don't have a cell phone (I have a friend who doesn't have one...), just the heightened awareness to this is helpful.
Have a good Thanksgiving and day after!
