Why don''t they believe us? A Vent

I figure that most of us here, and on other diabetes forums, have a good handle on things. Yes, sometimes we get thrown by something, but by and large we are doing a good job. We do what we are supposed to, we don't do what we're not supposed to and…Continue

My Battle with Basals: Day 1 - the overnight fasting test
Posted by Justyna on May 22, 2013 at 6:50am 0 Comments 0 Likes
As I got ready for bed around 10pm on a Tuesday night I prayed that my blood sugar would behave itself at least until I start my overnight fasting basal test. I really didn't want to put it off any longer. My sugar hasn't been great lately. I've fallen off my work-out and healthy eating wagon and I desperately wanted to climb back on it again.

Baseball and Diabetes
It is spring, and baseball is in the air. I never played sports as a kid, but when my sons got to be older they fell in love with the game. Both my sons played first base, pitched and played in some games as, catcher, outfield, third and second base. Each son was a fine hitter and my wife, I and the family loved going to the games and we followed them all over the Midwest watching them play.
I think what I loved…
