School Rush - Kate

Okay. Call me crazy, but I just realised TODAY (Tuesday) that i'm back in school on FRIDAY. Okay. Don't panic. You're heading into a major exam year and are not in the slightest bit prepared, but it's totally fine. Totally under control. Totally know what i'm doing. What am I doing again?! =O

Make sure unifrom fits: Check.
Sort out diabetes crap for school bag: Check.

Did I mention I don't have a school bag? Yeah. I don't have a school bag. I'm gonna go shopping tomorrow, get some stationary, a school bag, and some black socks for my uniform. Calm. Calm. La la la la.

We need to get some stuff for school lunches in because if I eat school canteen food I just go high. So i'm gonna do that tomorrow.

Have I mentioned that my Long Term Illness prescription book doesn't cover lithium batteries I need for my pump? Another thing I have to remember to do now. Buy batteries for my pump. I also must mention that they have approved my pump, but not the supplies. STUPID. Gah.

I also haven't gone about getting a CGM approved, I really need to get on that, new school year and routine brings along new basals and new insulin neeeds. Fun Fun Fun.

My mandatory subjects are Irish, English, and Math. I applied for History, Geography, Music and German, but I don't think i'm gonna get Music so i'll have to do Bioligy instead. Fun Fun Fun.

I'm having a TON of problems with my infusion sets, they burn on the inside and leave nasty angry bumps when I take them out, I think i'm allergic but don't wanna admit it, I really don't wanna go back on shots, it's just not an option for me.

On the plus side, I filled in my carb database on my pump, which is amazing. =)
