I first noticed Wellys in the first aid aisle at Target and was immediately attracted to their brightly colored and sometimes artful tin case designs. I never though much of them until I decided to grab a pack. It was a variety pack with bandages ready to cover small, medium and large wounds. What the hell, I thought. I didn't open the package right away, in fact I didn't open them till the first time I needed one. I was surprised to see a tough, sturdy fabric bandage. It felt as tough as some garments even! The adhesive was extremely strong, yet didn't have harsh chemicals and industrial glues, which are a no-no if you have sensitive skin. Despite what other brands offered, you know, first bit of moisture or tug in the wrong direction and it's off, these were almost a struggle to get off. But in a good way. The tough little bandages had it all. I was sold and I'm now a customer for life and I just wanted to share these with you. Maybe you haven't had the chance to give them a try, I promise you won't look back.

I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 20 yrs old. It was a hard pill to swallow when I went 20 yrs care free on what I was eating. I was so embarrassed and it put me in such a dark hole. When you go 20 yrs not looking at a nutrition label and all of a sudden your having to calculate carbs/sugar to insulin, it's not easy... but not impossible. 3 yrs later I'm finally more confident in it. I love to show of my dexcom because although you may not need it, i do...and honestly it's pretty cool. I love to find different accessories and such to make it fun.
