I want to be the Ralph Nader of Diabetics!
The story about Steven Krueger who died 3 years ago due to malfunction of his Medtronic pump (MMT-511) - has disturbed me greatly. To the point that my mind is in overdrive trying to figure things out (darn frustrating I'll tell you - can't hold a normal conversation with my sweetie pie). Very shocking statement from a friend of Steven's came to my attention yesterday - that left me reeling in disbelief - to the point that I skipped a visit to Ottawa today - in order to do more… Continue

BOOK REVIEW: Eat To Beat Diabetes - meals that are low in carbs, low in fats and great tasting!!!
Well, as most of you know - I love to cook, I love to eat (my excuse is my clothing has to keep on fitting me - who wants baggy pants around their lower buttucks?).

Riding thru' the mountains of the Adirondacks
Well, I managed to get out on my "stallion" on Saturday. The engine needed some cobwebs blown out of it - as its not had a good run in awhile. I think after that trip - we (my hubby and I) - have decided another bike is in order if we can't get my original Yamaha working again (carb probs - been sitting idle for a few years). I don't mind sharing my motorcycle with my sweetie pie - but I prefer to be up front - in control.My Dad is saying to get a Gold wing - ugh - sorry -… Continue
