Last night around 9:00PM I got out my Levemir pen and prepared for my biggest shot of basal for the day. Suddenly the dogs began to bark. This is a major distraction: so Dogs, What's up? We have a…Continue

Does anyone else have a "seasonal vice"? For summer, mine is beer (gluten-free) and barbecue potato chips (not low carb). Also, but not to the same degree, fresh summer salads and grilled foods.Continue

When my blood sugar is not Dr. Bernstein good, I can't sleep. I amuse myself by staring at the ceiling and writing a haiku. This one comes back to me time and again:
Bedtime Haiku
My mind is a-swirl,
thoughts like darting dragonflies.
Insects, go to sleep!

Today's post for the Fourth Annual Diabetes Blog should be about My Blogs, what I would wish my medical team could see and what I hope they don't see. I would rather my favorite doctor wouldn't see this Mother's Day anecdote:
Yesterday Mother's Day dawned cool, very cool and clear after a frosty night. My husband and I drove to my son's house for our annual Mother's Day celebration, complete with our three Golden Retrievers. Before we left home, I thought I'd be smart and go hungry…

No, Mr. President, there was no Jedi Mind-Meld -- it was Vulcan. However, there is now an Earthly Mind-Meld! Doubters out there? Read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/28/mind-melds-brain-communication_n_2781609.html?utm_hp_ref=science
Remember how Bones did his advanced cures of just about anything? If we can give rats mind-melds and cure mice of Diabetes,…

Summer solstice has not yet arrived, but it seems like mid-summer here in Ohio, hot and sparkly with bright colors in evidence everywhere in nature. (Well, except for our nuisance Raccoons.) Still I'm thinking ahead to my autumn celebrations, the time of muted colors. First will be my 82nd birthday, then my husband and I will celebrate our 59th wedding anniversary. Of course I will also take note of my 19th diaversary on November 22, 1993. Yes, I was diagnosed at the age of 63 -- first as a…

I haven't been participating in the D-Blog Week until today. Today I read Jane K's blog, in which she wrote: "As D-blog Week comes to a close I think the people who have done important things to create an interactive community for people with diabetes are heroes". That statement inspired me to say that Manny Hernandez is my hero.
There have been three landmarks in my Diabetes: 1) diagnosis in November, 1993, 2) the day that insulin therapy began, and 3) finding TuDiabetes. Manny was…

lotsofshots said… Hi Trudy,
How have you been? I missed you. I have been sleeping for a month, no kidding. The hospital gave me some strong medication. I can't stay awake. I am healing well. We are in the process of moving and I feel useless. I can't lift anything. Everything is disappearing into the truck, and I am still here with the bed! Zen and I are together here.
I see you might be getting some heavy rain. Over here it is very cheery with sun and blue sky. I hope Hardy and everyone at the house including the pups are doing well.
I have been sleeping so long. When I got the operation there were no leaves on the trees. I went out this week and all the leaves are out and that was a big surprise for me! 
Marie B said… Hi Trudy, the diabetic alert dog trainer on the live chat yesterday was quite interesting, if you missed it, watch for the video. she had her pup with her, very cute!
