I-N-S-U-L-I-N

I is for inside me, where the insulin makes its bed. N is for never ending, we won't stop taking it until we are dead. S is for shots and pumps, two ways we take the med. U is for under my skin, where the cannula fits in L is for Long acting and short acting, the two kinds it comes in. N is for not quitting, I'll fight this D-battle to the end. I hope the end is a cure, as we all do. This is a tribute to the insulin I take every day, I owe it my life. Thank you, little vial of clear liquid. You… Continue

Health care reform

I need your help to stop the health care crisis affecting people with diabetes. The lack of accessible, adequate and affordable health care is putting the lives of many people with diabetes at risk-needlessly. We must make our voices heard now while Congress is debating health care reform, otherwise people who need health care coverage the most will continue to be the ones who can't get it. Sign this petition to demand accessible, adequate and affordable health care for all people with, and at… Continue

Diabetes Research Institute: the best hope for a cure (indeed)

The Diabetes 2.0 Conference organized by the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) is over. But now, thoughts go through my head about what I've seen and heard through the past couple of days. Yesterday, we had the honor of getting a detailed tour of the facilities of the institute, in the heart of the Medical District by the University of Miami. I posted some photos from the tour… Continue

thinking

So I do way to much thinking. I know it... I've thought about it a lot:) Recently I've had plenty of time to think about myself, my sense of self, my strengths, weaknesses, and issues with vulnerability. The other night I had a mini break down. I felt unloved and overwhelmed. I felt as if I was not receiving the type of care and emotional support that I needed for my recovery. No one was doing what I needed them to do, no one respected me/loved me enought to do what was important to me... I wasn… Continue

ding dong

Since Camden was diagnosed in July, I've gotten up every night at 2am to test his blood. Each time we change his Lantus, his Dr. tells me that I only need to for the next couple of nights and then that's it. Every time it's THE night that I don't have to check anymore, I do. Each time, it's lower than I want it to be... So, I keep testing. His Dr. keeps telling me to knock it off so I can get some sleep and function a little better, but no matter what, I'm awake most of the night worrying. Might… Continue

about me

I am 36 years old, I have been living with Diabetes for 34 years and counting. I am married for 11 years, and we have a 10 year old daughter named Hope! As a child, My A1c were always high 13, My parents had no control as I hit my teen years. When I was 17 years old, I started hitting complications. My eyes started and I was in denial about it all. I would fight with my mom to go to the doctors. She ended up putting me in a diabetic program at the hospital for 2 weeks, it didn't help! So, 17 ye… Continue

Panic Attack

I had my first real panic attack today. For the last month or so, in hindsight, I think I may have had quite a few. They would usually happen when I was low, or thought I was low, e.g. on the way home from work. I would start feeling dizzy, as if I was fainting, would measure my BG and find nothing wrong with it, and then it would pass. What I discovered this morning, when I had a real attack, is that the BG goes up at the time of the attack! So last week, when I felt dizzy and measured m… Continue

We Found Our Way Back!

Ok we had a great few days away from it all now it's time to get back to it. Don't look for me to post new pics though, All the pics were taken with a flash camera. Dang it! It was just really pretty to me up there we just got there too late to see the fall colors. I LOVE the fall! Back when my mom was here we always had the same argument, she loved the spring when everything was reborn and I loved the fall when (according to her) I liked to see everything die. Not too bad argument just kinda fa… Continue

Pensive

Today is one of those thinking days. Where for me almost everything is unsure. Did I choose the right career, right company. Should I go back to school (shudders at the thought-haven't got the last go paid off yet....) Should I stay on the pump--should I go back to shots (worried about losing my very good medical insurance if the nonsense in the congress goes through right now---it will be much cheaper for my employer to pay teh gov 8% and dump us all in gov *care*--oh and they have built ina s… Continue

The reason why I fight...life and all.

Feeling good tonight, feeling humbled these pass few weeks no matter how bad things get. Appreciating everything that I do have. Can't change the past, but I can make the future more meaningful. Been doing alot of preparing for the stuff to happen in our favor. At the same time making time for the family and having fun everyday as much as possible. You never know when the last day will be. Stop being depressed, start looking at things that you can do. I don't care if you are homeless or just ou… Continue
