He had me do one soon before I got pregnant, because we'd spent a year preparing for the pregnancy (lowering A1C, etc.) and needed to make sure my kidneys were doing ok before taking on the strain. All clear! ;) Good luck and again, congratulations!Shannonhttp://nomoreshotsforshannon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-34693006803876589952013-02-20T14:14:48.076-06:002013-02-20T14:14:48.076-06:00Ugh I hate carrying around the infamous jug!

Ewww... lol Last time the clinic I went to gave me a brown paper bag to carry it in. So it looked like I was either carrying my big jug 'o pee, or a very large liquor bottle. ;)Shannonhttp://nomoreshotsforshannon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-44956912066733279302013-02-19T21:09:37.644-06:002013-02-19T21:09:37.644-06:00Weird.

The thing I really don't get is why they can't have something a little more discreet than a gigantic BRIGHT ORANGE receptacle for your pee.

My sister with kidney disease has to do it so I know what it is but I've never had to yet in 4 years of Type 1. So help me out.
