Beatin the Beast...Betes??

How awesome would it be if there was a cure for Betes?  I'd definitely be joyous as would many many others!  But unfortunately at this time there isn't a cure....soo there are two choices (talking about Type 1 Diabetes specifically) for me: 1. Denial/Disregard or 2. "Beat" it to the best of my ability.

Well I choose to "beat" my Type 1 betes every day!  It hasn't been easy all the time, but I'm determined NOT to let betes run my life.

One of they ways I keep my Betes under control is by checking my blood sugar levels 8-10 times a day, which I know many might call obsessive, but I like to make sure everything is in check.  It's also kind of out of habit.  When I was pregnant with Little Man, they had me checking my sugars that many times and faxing in my numbers twice a week for adjustments.  Even though I'm not currently preggo, I still like the idea of keeping my sugars in line and keeping my body/organs functioning as best they can. I'm sure thankful I had such a healthy baby while dealing with Type 1 Diabetes!

There are several other ways that I try to "beat" my Diabetes, but I won't bore you all in one sitting!  Now for those of you who have Diabetes and are reading this....I'm not trying to brag about how many times I check my sugar or any of that, I just wanted to show how I'm trying to win my fight with Betes and I hope you are putting up a fight as well! :) I fight every day for myself, my hubby, and for L.

Let's keep on battling this beast called Betes, or really any beast you have, while we find the beauty in trying to overcome our adversities!

How are you winning over your beast(s) today?

Fight on....fight on!
