It’s All Under Control

Just Not By Me!

My Name Is…

My name is Anne and I am a control freak trapped in the body of an imperfectionist. I am a daughter, wife, mom, sister-in-law and aunt. I am a baked-goods maker, health food lover and social media influencer. I do my best to live life by: 1 Corinthians 13.

This website is something I am doing as a release mechanism (therapy), for me; no one else! So please understand I am not trying to appease anyone.

The supplies you HAVE to carry are many. There are the supplies you carry just to get through every day: glucose meter, test strips, alcohol wipes, lancets, insulin and syringes. Then there are the snacks in case Monkey’s blood sugar drops too low and needs some extra carbs. And don’t forget the Glucagon Emergency Kit.

HE DID IT!

HE DID IT! HE DID IT! HE DID IT! The DEXCOM Continuous Glucose Monitor may be life changing for our family and I couldn’t be happier about it.
