I was at work and it was time to test my b/s. I kind of dread it just cause I don't like the pain that comes from the stick. Any way I test. Afterwards I am getting papers out of a 3 ring binder and snap the rings closed on my thumb. I had enough…Continue
Does this mean my spikes don't last long?

I just want to clarify something with A1c as a representation of good control. I know spikes can skew a good A1C reading, SO:If I have 90% of my diabetic life had A1C's of 6.2-7.5, but never had a significant problem with LOWS, then it is unlikely…Continue

Add-On to Let Freedom Ring

Oops! There's a problem with inconsistant blogging ... you forget to add clarifying details.

Scary experience

Well we all know living alone with diabetes is scary, but this post isn't about diabetes, but is about living alone and scary medical emergencies.
The night before last I worked super late to support a youth activity our office was running. As part of that, I brought home some of the leftover snacks, including the tortilla chips.
