New York City: Where the “Fun” Never Ends. (Part 2)
My continuous glucose monitor (CGM) woke me up with its three sharp beeps. I turned on the backlight and saw that my blood glucose was low…
New York City: Where the “Fun” Never Ends. (Part 1)
Darned if I didn’t do it again. As I’ve told you before, I have a penchant for blaming high blood glucose that lasts several hours on a high-fat meal I’ve eaten when, as I discover later, the infusion set to my insulin pump has come out…

Seeing the aurora borealis is at the top of my bucket list, and I have an idea of where I would like to go to see it: Chena Hot Springs Resort near Fairbanks, Alaska. Sometimes I daydream about soaking in a 105° rock lake that’s surrounded by ice and snow while I watch lights dance across the sky…
