No excuse for that one.
Look, I know I can sometimes come across as a little…judgey in terms of what people say about diabetes. I’m talking about people like this or like this who make uneducated comments about diabetes. But let it be known that I truly do understand that these comments come from a place of simply not knowing [...]
I figured it out…
Guys, I finally figured out diabetes management. I just won’t eat!! It’s brilliant right? I mean, I carb count for something one day, and it works, and then the next day it’s totally off and I can’t get the insulin right so I’ll just eliminate those. And when I eat low carb, the fat breaks [...]
If only I had known…
I had no idea this whole diabetes mess could have been avoided with toast!! In all seriousness though, how can this be allowed to be put on bread? What’s next, sticks of butter labeled “helps with cholesterol?”
Just a wee bit lower would have been awesome…
Been running literally between 153 and 174 for SIX hours, including lunch and when I lowered my basals before working out. Then, an hour spin class pushes me through the 200s….let me say that again: spin class made me go up? Is this the same class I needed two GU packs just to avoid a [...]
Dude, get it together.
DexCom, I love you, but really? REALLY? WTF? Get it together man…
Can you at least meet me halfway?
Don’t do it Blood Sugar, don’t do it. Come on, let’s be rational here, you were at just 108mg/dL 30 minutes ago, trending downward. How did you get here? 178mg/dL? And rising?!? C’mon man, that ain’t right! All I had was 18 measly carbs, and now this? You were on your way to a low [...]
Yep. Just me and Mark Mcgwire over here…
I’ve had diabetes for 17 years, so I should be used to pretty much everything that comes out of people’s mouths in regards to my condition. But I’m not. Every so often, I have an interaction that boggles my mind in terms of social aptitude and general idiocracy. And my gym, bless it, has never [...]
The Low Dream
One thing that I’ve been lucky with in diabetes is that I am very hypoglycemic-aware. I feel my low symptoms acutely most of the time, and it’s rare that I’m surprised by a low. They also (knock on wood) wake me up when I have a low in the middle of the night. We’ve all [...]
So that’s where they’re keeping them…
Two random items of Istanbul fabulousness that I thought you should know about… 1.) In case you were wondering where all the Turkish Diabetics are…they’re at the DIABANK of course! 2.) The faux-sugar of choice in Istanbul happens to be: Which made me think of the original Dia-Pak…which is this: Coincidence? I think not!
Yep. Its a beeper. Right.
I don’t know how we got on the subject of diabetes. All I know is that he had more product in his hair than an Exxon Mobil spill, and his Ed Hardy-knockoff v-neck was revealing a liiiiitle too much chest hair for midday. Even if we were out wine tasting. On a party bus. With [...]
