Well, I can't anyways really, forgot my reading glasses, and basically I'm teaching myself out of a book since this is my independent study. Eh, whatever I've been out of it today...first my reading glasses I forget...and my meter! Last night really messed me up...I hope it doesn't happen again for awhile.

I am always trying to add humor, but the smile in my voice cannot be heard when I write!

At 1:19am on November 19th, 2007, Kathryn said…: Thanks for the add! I hope you have had a wonderful day!

At 4:55pm on November 18th, 2007, Alexandra said…: Yes you should definately pack extra stuff! I found this little bag that had come with one of my old blood sugar testers... I packed a few insets in there, a couple cartridges, batteries, and some insulin... I leave it in my lunch kit & take it to work with me just incase something happens. I don't take it EVERYWHERE but definately work.

I'm currently 5.6. sounds wonderful but I'm dropping like a stone. blahh. lol. I've already been low twice today, but hey. the UK guidelines for getting a pump are ridiculous. you can't get one unless MDI has "failed". That means either reccurring DKA or seizures/passing out from hypos, none of which I've had. so I'm stuck on MDI for now.

At 3:25pm on November 18th, 2007, Jillian said…: No problem. Thanks for the compliment!

At 12:56pm on November 18th, 2007, emma said…: I'm doing well thanks, 'cept for constant lows atm. well. not constant. basically I'm low or high.. never in between. ;]
I've been neglecting my tudiabetes and blog for a while though, I've gotta get back into it!
how're you doing?
