"Sorry for the eye floater situation, Karen. I am glad to read that it is likely age related, not something wrong. If they are really bad and your vision is impaired then the options include: Using a laser to dissolve floaters. During laser therapy,…"

"I think you're in very good shape too. I'm 65 and been diabetic for 56 years this month. In 1997 I had cataracts removed and in 2011 floaters started appearing again in my left eye so my retinologist performed out-patient laser surgery and…"

Now what??

I have been diabetic for 46 years and this past November got my first bad eye exam. MD was not too concerned, he said it was a small dot (whatever that means).In April I developed floaters in the same eye, out of my mind with fear. Went to eye MD again and he said nice to see you Karen but you are here too soon and what name did you give this. I said floaters, he said boring name (I thought how about WTF, floaters.)He dilated my eyes and said nothing had changed, then he laid me down and really…See More

"My goal is to always be between the 70-140 range. So I will check prior to meals and two hours after. If they fall between those numbers then I know I adjusted insulin doses correctly. But if I have something like 150, two hours later, then…"

My little Avery

Posted on September 6, 2009 at 6:58pm 3 Comments

My niece Avery is 4 years old and today I was at her house helping her parents pack up their home to move, way sad, but Avery makes life wonderful.



About a month ago her parents hooked up a little back bike, not sure what it is called, to her mom's bike and she was so scared to try it, but I finally talked her into it and now she can't get enough of it. I finally talked her into it that day and she wanted Auntie Karen to do the front bike riding, but I was really messed up that day… Continue
