This time, I pump when I feel like I need to and feed him when he asks and I have more than enough. Sometimes it’s every three hours. Sometimes I wait a little longer. But not being stressed means I produce more.

I was so stressed with my other two because I felt like I had to pump every 2-3 hours or I was “failing” and I was pumping an empty well. It hurt and was disheartening.

So does this mean that the body is still trying to produce insulin even while under attack by the immune system? So if the immune system is retrained, the cells could go back to producing insulin?

I kept reporting mine and now I haven’t had any issues for a while. I wonder if the constant complaints meant quality improved for my shipment area?

Good news! A baby is born and no one got bit!

The baby has arrived and I’ve eaten a chicken Caesar wrap!! All is well with the world.

Yes! My problem is that I have to give myself so much insulin right now because of pregnancy hormones. Once I’m no longer pregnant, the problems with these welts will go away, but it’s like I have to jam so much insulin in my body that it’s so overwhelming for the insertion point.

I was told I would never be able to eat pizza again when I was diagnosed. My endocrinologist told me that. A licensed doctor. (He has since retired, thank God.)
