I'm glad there are now some books on the market. There were none when I had my kids, 1998, 2001 and 2004. I should have written my own book

That was really cool. I especially liked the finger shot with ketchup & ending with the shoes carrying us through was good too. Do you ever prick your finger and then nothing comes out, so you squeeze harder and a droplet sprays out onto your shir...

A Few of My Favorite Things(D-style)

A1c’s high, and my eye doctors frown
It’s getting to me, man, its got me quite down
Cream jelly doughnuts will help me along
And give me the boost age to finish this song.

Guys in white dress shirts with blue stripe-ed ties
Invoke palpitations (and a great deal of sighs)
Still being young, man, I’m out on Spring Fling
These are a few of my favorite things.

DC traffic (as it’s ridin’ my bumper)
Iphones and itunes and insulin pumpers
Brown UPS boxes tied up in strings
These are a few of my favor… Continue

Unload time...well, I went to see my endo and my a1c has come down quite a bit. Not under 7, but that is my goal for next time. Having said that, life gets in the way...I've started up a new exercise routine and have thus far managed to find time to drag myself to the gym twice a week.

surgery

Haven't posted in awhile. School stuff has kept me really busy. (yay, for a few weeks of sanity) Celebrated D-day number 10 on December 10. Of course, it was a final exams day so I really didn't paint the town red but I savored the "treat" I'd gotten for myself(a Wendy's Frostie and chicken salad). I don't feel like a newbie at all now, there's something about putting your diabetes in the double digits.

They changed things around with the mag infusions so I'm getting a huge dose one time a week… Continue

update

Status quo here. I am seeing a nephrologist on a regular basis, getting magnesium infusions three times a week but hoping to cut down on that soon. I may have to get a port surgically implanted but the meds(amiloride) is supposed to cut down on the wasting and I am really hoping my veins hold out. Thank you guys for your thoughts and prayers.
