Heyy Gina,

Those were some cool diabetes snapshots. Although it does look like it hurts a little. Lol. My mom was kind of freaking out when she saw the one of you attaching your cgm.

That drawer looks a lot like mine.  I actually have 3 different places in the house I put supplies - drawer in the entertainment center for the big boxes, a little drawer in the kitchen for small stuff (CGM cases, pump clip, loose cartridge and infusion sets, wipes, etc.), and a shelf in one cabinet for alcohol swab boxes, lancets, and glucose tabs.  I should probably consider condensing.  :)

Thanks Brittany! It only hurts a little when you first put it in...Why did she freak out when I attached my cgm? She should have freaked when she saw the needle thats what my mom did when she first saw it LOL

Gina...

1. I can't believe how well organized your supplies are! Mine are in a pile in a closet and some still in the bag from the pharmacy!

2. I like your nail polish color.

3. Do you have the minimed CGM. The dexcom isn't supposed to be within 3 inches of an injection or insertion site. That's cool you can keep them so close and save room on your tummy. (:

haha. i have a big plastic rolly cart with all my supplies. it has 3 drawers. the top drawer is where i keep my open boxes of stuff (lancets, insulin, infusion sets/cartridges). the second drawer is where i keep the stuff i use occasionally but not all the time, like extra batteries, syringes, and carrying cases. the third drawer is where i shove everything else i know i won't ever need but can't throw away (old supplies for pumps i don't have, needles for pens, etc.). then i usually use the top of it as a storage area for extra boxes of supplies. i get 2 boxes every month and can only keep 1 box in the drawer.

i like organization :o)

I would love one of those for Riley's stuff but I am afraid the boys would get into it. We use those for their toys lol
