I'm wondering if T2 diabetics feel like people think it's their fault they got the disease? Is there more "sympathy" for people with T1? I am a type 2 (fairly) newly diagnosed, and sometimes I do feel like people around me think I gave it to myself.…Continue

Im really hoping I am not the only person who feels this way. All through school I absolutely hated "healthy class". My main reason for despising it was due to that movie "Supersize Me" . Its not so much the film I have an issue with....as much as…Continue

My Battle with Basals: Day 3 - How NOT to do a Basal Test!
Posted by Justyna on May 24, 2013 at 7:11am 5 Comments 0 Likes
After failing to do my 4pm-midnight basal test the previous day due to all the craziness that ensued (and my high sugar reading at the start of the test) I decided to go all the way and fast for almost 24 hours to get my 8am-midnight readings in one shot. I was determined!

The boy scout law

This action, which I support, set off new reports and elation as well as disgust and outrage. The thing is now that the vote has occurred and policy will be implemented we now must find ways to heal the organization. I feel that both sides raised valid and valuable points. I just feel…
