Ugh, that is tiring! Have you tried bolusing early? I get the spike unless I wait 20 minutes after the bolus.

Oprah Takes On Diabetes

Thursday Oprah had her team on her show to wake up the world about diabetes. Dr. Oz, heart surgeon had a lot to say, Bob Greene, personal trainer talked about the value of exercise, Dr. Ian Smith roused a group of church ladies who all have diabetes, or have it in their family, to get committed, and Oprah's former chef who's lost 85 pounds since his diagnosis of type 2 diabetes was there to say stop frying your chicken in grease. Since I had just been given the keys to The Huffington Post washro… Continue

Vinegar is the New Symlin

It sounds like an Old Wives' Tale, but another study came out that shows that drinking vinegar before a meal helps control the postprandial rise in glucose.

This new study, p… Continue

Follow up on depression....medications

I have to admit it felt good to get some of that out there, something changes when it's not just in my head even if nothing actually changes. I think my 4th grade English teacher just rolled over in her grave after that last sentence :)

So Peter G. commented on my last blog about medication and professional help and it got me thinking. I think I have had depression for most of my life. My father died of cancer on Christmas eve when I was just 6 years old. As far back as I can remember t… Continue

D + 40 and counting

This month marks my 40th diaversary. Looking back, it all seems so mundane now. The shots, the tests, the waits at the doctor’s, the isolation, the insurance fights, the doctors that tell me that eventually insulin will stop working for me, the other complete idiots you run into now and again, the test strips all over, the hearing that the cure is just “around the corner”, the non-diabetics having to share their D horror stories with me, count this, dose for that, rinse, repeat ad nau… Continue

My thoughts on the Oprah Diabetes episode

I recorded the episode Oprah aired on 2-4-10 she dedicated to diabetes. I was all prepared to be angry at Oprah and Dr. Oz for not spending more time talking about type 1 diabetes. I have already spent a long time being angry about such terms as "epidemic" "preventable" and "weight loss" when referred to diabetes when they are actually focused on type 2. I spent 14 years diagnoses (incorrectly) as a type 2 diabetic. I used to get soooo angry at all of those catch phases, because I knew my diabet… Continue

Redefining "Normal"

I have an admission to make: I really can't stand all the complete B.S. (I really wanted to use the real word bull$#!t, but I'll try to censor myself in the first sentence of today's diatribe) about PWD's living normal lives with this disease. It's not being honest, yet everyone who writes about it seems intent on perpetuating the myth that life with diabetes is somehow normal, or at least close to normal. Newsflash: It's definitely NOT normal.

What got me started on all of this w… Continue
