If I stop drinking Coke entirely I get really bad headaches. I've quit several times and even when I wasn't taking in massive amounts of caffiene I had trouble sleeping.
The waking up at 8 is just habit. I have to get up that early for work and my brain doesn't know i have a day off so it wakes me up so I'm not late. It's great when I work... but not so much when I'm allowed to sleep in.
How are you doing with it? I'm anxious to just get started with the frickin' thing already, my Endo is taking forever on this issue. wants me training with shots first... Ugggg I've been on shots for like 2 years now! He switched the type of insulin I'm using to mimic the pump a bit more. Making me write everything down, fax it to his office, blah blah blah... pain in my ass lol. Any pump tips?
