A Case For Everything, and Everything In Its Case.

Now that I'm in the process of turning food into a tiny human, I've been told by my endo that I need to start entering all of my blood test results into my insulin pump. At first I was miffed about having to do an additional step (several times a day) on top of all the other steps I'm already doing, but when we had to print off separate charts for my Ping stuff, my iBGStar readings, and my Dexcom graphs and charts, I realized what a pain in the ass I was being if I didn't help her out just a little.

Besides, it's not like she's making me use the Ping remote meter for testing again - while I like my insulin pump, I can do without that chunky, clunky, fat snail of a meter. The iBGStar app provides a lot of meaningful information for me, and going back to life without it... well, I don't want to.

But what this does mean is that I now have one more thing to carry around everywhere; one more accessory sitting on my desk during my workday. They all have cases (because, hi, that's what I do), and while they don't match, it makes me feel slightly better about needing to have so many carry-on items.

Clockwise from top left: a Vera Bradley wallet (modified like so); Fossil cosmetic case that houses all of my
meter crap, an extra pump site, a Humalog pen and needles; Tallygear case for the Dexcom G4
(disclosure: I was sent one free to try out); the bottom of my iBGStar phone case.
