This post originally appeared at Strangely Diabetic on May 22, 2012 as part of Mental Health Awareness MonthSince I have written so heavily about my own battle with depression and going through therapy for the last 6 months or so, you’d think I’d have plenty to say about mental health during Mental Health Awareness Month .I do and…See More

Hi
Hello everyone, esp all the peeps from KC (too bad there's no football here...)
Divorced, with 2 kids, 18 year-old daughter and 17 year-old son. I've been T1 since February, 1970 and things have changed alot. My first meter was about the size of a brick and weighed about that much too...
Human insulins... I took a beef/pork mixture in years the before that came in '83 (?) and still cannot donate blood because I might have mad-cow disease from the beef/pork insulin.
It was finally proven that the long term benefits of tight control of blood sugars vastly outweighed the risks of hypoglycemia
Pumping is good!
Depression and diabetes are linked...
While diabetes is a part of my life, it doesn't control it, some folks wear it on their sleeve, start living life please, the rest of us want a chance to whine some too...
I'm sarcastic, cynical, don't take myself too seriously (neither do my kids, hmmmm), and I'll always tell you the truth, you may not like it, but hey, you asked
