Guilt and a Guessing Game

March 9th, 2010 admin

One of my biggest issues in my diabetes management is “knowledge.” I don’t mean that I don’t know what I’m doing or enough about the disease. Trust me, I’ve had that covered for awhile now. I’m talking about the simple facts of knowing how I am in this disease.

Well, That Explains It
This is an official warning: if you are a boy you may not want to read this post because it deals with girly issues and bodily fluids. Heck, if you’re a girl and get squeemish when talking about girly issues and bodily fluids you may not want to read it either.  Read More →
"Wrong Way Harrigan"?
Thursday, I started with the concept that the standard directions for taking a medication may sometimes cause a person to respond poorly to its intended therapeutic effects, and used that theme to segue into last Sunday’s ride to North Brunswick. One of the biggest issues for me in planning a route to the Brunswicks has been that of crossing... 
You’re My Friend
Health issues can be especially lonely at times. Your body is racked with pain, your head is spinning from a low, or you’re just worn out from a night of blood sugar issues. Chronic issues don’t exactly create a great place of friendship and community. Yet it’s so vital for us chronic care patients to bond together.  Read More →
Much Needed Relief
I woke up this morning at 240 and did a 3 unit Humalog correction. I knew part of that high had been from the few sips of Coke I’d had the night before to settle an upset stomach. I hadn’t bolused for it, knowing that I’d rather run the risk of a high than the risk of a low overnight.  Read More →
Still Job Hunting
I spent quite awhile in the city that I plan to move to this past week. It was a nice relief to be there instead of here at home. I finally found an apartment that I want which I’ve now got on hold until the middle of September. So my next step is just to find a job. Much easier said than done.  Read More →
Dental Dilemma
As people with diabetes, we are told time and again to make sure we schedule regular oral care visits, as diabetes makes us both more susceptible to oral disease (cavities, periodontal issues, etc.) and makes it more difficult for us to recover from the procedures needed to treat that disease. “Why,” you may then ask, “have you... 
Food-Induced Highs
I’ve been nursing a lot of highs lately. I’m not talking about the mediocre 200s, but full blown 400s and 300s. Both Saturday and today, I’ve been stuck well above a comfortable range.  Read More →
Mastering Those Carb-Guessing Skills
I loved D-psychologist Jessica Bernstein’s assertion that aiming to control your blood glucose levels with diabetes is a lesson in frustration. Rather, the best we can hope for is to influence our BG “by combining enough insulin and exercise to burn the sugar,” she says. Right on, Jessica! — which is I’ll talk about  Read More →
Simple Blood Test May Predict Who Might Develop Type 2 Diabetes Among Healthy Women
Doctors may have identified a new and simple way to predict risk for developing type 2 diabetes. This increasingly widespread disease affects over 58 million Americans and often leads to cardiovascular disease, amputations, blindness and stroke…  Read More →
Fundraising Funk
This was going to be the year that I just took a pass on the fundraising; closed down Charlie’s Angels until next year. I just felt burnt out. We’ve done lots of fundraising for JDRF since Charlie’s diagnosis. It’s hard to get up for it every year; especially knowing that with it comes much rejection and wasted energy. It’s also tough to...
