I agree as it always seems easier to someone who has not walked a mile in the person in a diabetics shoes. I have lived with Type 1 for about 30 years and I am now 40. The disease I compare to the most chronic and not plainly visible which would b...

Hello, I just joined this blogsite after reading the posts about an adult camp in several earlier posts. It sound like something my wife and I would be interested in. Any more details?

Endo Today

Time for another nail biting appointment, and sadly I have just a few pages logged to show him. Hope for the best. To make matters even more interesting, I went to a pump co.'s intro to pumping class, just to see one up close and personal. Yesterday the pump rep calls me and says he's talked to my endo about me. CAN HE DO THAT? I wasn't close to ready to actually approach my doc about it, because I'm still so on the fence. Now I'm embarassed, and I hope the doc won't bring it up. Apparently all… Continue

Another Day

After reading a forum post from Chick Lin, I have to say my mood has much improved. I have been terribly down lately, since the realization that this diabetes thing is not going away. It took me a long time for that simple fact to actually be processed. It's almost inexplainable. Like with any other illness, I truly thought, I'll take my medication...I'LL GET BETTER. I listened to what my doc and educators tell me about it being a chronic illness, but somehow I DON"T HEAR THEM. Later, I'm lookin… Continue

Tricky, this whole diabetes thing

Just when you think you have a pretty good handle on everything, things get crazy. I'm starting to think there can never be a pattern, or a norm or even an answer to how blood sugar rises and falls. I've decided that diabetes is very, very sneaky!

It started when I randomly checked my blood sugar right after I woke up and got a reading of 257. What?!? I thought my meter had gone loopy. Everyday previous to that one, I checked my BS about an hour after I wake up, before I take a shot and it is a… Continue

Another Doctor - Another Disease

This must not be my greatest year. I saw a new primary care doctor last week, for a "meet & greet" appointment. Instead she did a physical much to my dismay. It all started with the phrase "you look pale, are you anemic?' In truth, I've been anemic in the past, I thought due to my vegan diet. She decided to run full metabolic panel and check for iron and b12 deficiencies. Because I'm now type 1, she ran parietal cell antibodies test, and lo and behold I'm anemic. Iron deficient and perniciou… Continue

Not Alone

So often, I feel like I'm alone in this. I forget that others are having the same feelings, frustrations, and struggles. It's such an invisible disease that you can't tell by just looking at someone. Then there's a reminder, like yesterday, when I ran at the outdoor neighborhood track. I put the key in my car to open the door, ready to test and go home, and I look down and see a Freestyle test strip lying on the pavement. It made me feel less alone.

Hi Chloe, I ran across your profile and noticed that you are in Birmingham, I live between Irondale and Mountain Brook. I saw some of your blog posts (I swear I am not a stalker:) ) and I think we may have some things in common. Hope to talk with you soon.

I am on hold with the doctor now Chloe - thanks for the comment - I love this site for bringing me in contact with those who understand my struggles and care. :)

Yes it is, Chloe. I've already decided I'm over it and the whole thing can just go away now. Although I must say that I surely do fancy all these gadgets and gizmos I get to play with on a daily basis. How's it going for you?

Thanks, Chloe, and thanks for adding me as your friend. I've had diabetes since age 11 and since age 15 have lived abroad in Germany, Norway, India and now Taiwan, and travelled to over 20 countries. I've never let it stop me, though I do, of course, take it into account and need to be careful. I've been very blessed and very lucky.

I look forward to keeping in touch with you! :)

Chloe - I realise I haven't yet said "hi" back. Forgive my rudeness. Best of luck in the dating game!
