Again if you read both of my earlier postings you will know I am talking about LIFE...
I want all diabetics to learn from Casey Johnson's death as a life lesson.
Let's quit the pity partying and talk about how this is a wake call to all Diabetics. There are alot of people that do not take care of themselves and do not take there condition seriously. I just want these people to know that help is somehow available even if you are not a billionaire heiress. In the end, with all the money in the world could not help this person.
This also a lesson on building a support system and surrounding yourself with good people.
All diabetes at some point need a support system when the BS levels are bad and you are feeling depressed. we should surround ourselves with positive people so we don't fall into the abyss like Casey Johnson. What is tragedic is she didn't have a support system after family decided to show her some tough love. She has been in rehab several times her with well documented drinking and drug problems. What happen to all these "friends" that were crying for her after her death. Where were they in LIFE.
If you are in denial or depressed get some help...there is no shame in trying to do better.
We as diabetics will get depressed. As stated before I was in denial about my diabetes for a long time. Talk to somebody....a priest or counselor to help you to help yourself.
This is all I am saying. This is not person to put on turn into a Diabetic Martyr. You would be a better because you are doing something positive.
Now how anybody can not extropoliate LIFE LESSONS from this "tragedy" is interesting.

How about news about T1Ds that do it, not news about screwing it up!
She made the choice.

My doctor finally came clean with me at the last visit when he said that the gastric stapling I had years ago is what is now causing my problems with glucose lowering agents and food in general. I do not have enough lining to absorb what ever goes in. I know this sounds unreal. After my gastric stapling I determined that it had caused this surgically induced bulimia.. I did have the valve removed, which stopped the throwing up. but for food, I am gluten sensitive and had to remove lots of my favorite foods.I have been all over the road for years. Metformin really does me in.I don't go off medication to lose weight, although that is what happens and I need to,but, because it cannot be good to be all over the road all the time.I prefer high because I know what to expect.Another twist to this is that the government would not cover the cost for long acting insulin and as my doc said "Then you suffer". I have been on the wrong meds all my diabetic life.I get to pay that price!!!
