Diabetes, Sex, and Life

Posted on December 6, 2009 at 4:35pm 2 Comments

I don't know if it is me, or not, but how many of you have a sex drive? I have other ailments beside type 1, such as: hypothyroidism, menopause, ptsd, and mthr. I have been in long standing relationships, but with these elements my sex drive from when I was younger has gone down.



I know I work full-time and go to grad school, but does stress play a role in everything in our bodies. How can you really relax when there is soo much on your plate. You worry about the levels of your sugar… Continue

Diabetic and tattoos and piercings

Posted on November 4, 2009 at 7:39pm 2 Comments

I can wear outfits that you wouldn't even know I had a tattoo or piercing.

Posted on October 28, 2009 at 11:49am 0 Comments

My cholesterol is good and my blood pressure is good. Thank God!! I only take insulin (novolog) in the pump and symlin pen. I don't take metformin, because if I do I have the shits from hell and… Continue
