Set Change - Diabetes 365 - Day 3
Getting ready to do a set change while surfing tudiabetes.com. (I am addicted to this website. And please excuse my messy bed :P)
I was wondering why my blood sugars were rising (rather quickly I might add) so I checked my site and discovered there was a good amount of blood in the area. Yuck. But a quick change and a bolus and everything was fine.
