While nuHerbie the insulin pump (second one, first Herbie was felled by a recycling dumpster corner) been life-altering – in 99.9% good ways – the .1% has been a source of frustration and confusion since day one: on some days, I'm able to get in a good four mile run before I become a hypoglycemic mess, on others, barely a mile. No matter the settings, no matter if I use exercise mode, or how much insulin I take, vexation. Though it's taken me awhile – nuHerbie and I are heading towards our third anniversary of symbiotic collaboration to keep me not dead – I've finally landed on a solution: give up on distance, focus on intensity. Get what I can get out of the run and call it good enough; can't decide if it's resignation or acceptance (still sussing out the difference). Probably both. Resiceptance.
