I just keep making myself think that at least it's taking over my life and not ending it.

If you wanna stay in the valley a bit longer I'll be there beside you to be sounding board. If you wanna climb out I'll try to bring the rope. You're such an awesome guy that helps to make everyone around you feel welcome and I want you to feel that joy that you give to others. The big d sucks but we're pullin' for you. Just remember always that you are loved.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335331377803884141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-47076404218781048722007-04-26T01:10:00.000-07:002007-04-26T01:10:00.000-07:00Boy do I relate!

We all know you are diabetic and even when you don't write about it we know its there. As diabetics, we see everything through our insulin-colored glasses. Even in your non-D posts, we can imagine it in the background. I think its OK to be a dia-slacker once in a while. Sometimes its easier.

Those high/low swings are a horrible vicious cycle and it's hard to break out of it.<BR/><BR/>I do think it's good to acknowledge how lousy this disease is, and just vent about it. Otherwise you'll bottle those feelings up and that won't help you.<BR/><BR/>I hope your numbers settle down soon, and that you're back to a positive outlook before long.Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14936264471078732019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-35000705892905399892007-04-25T15:25:00.000-07:002007-04-25T15:25:00.000-07:00George, it is nice to read about DB, but, because ...George, it is nice to read about DB, but, because we are people first, it's also great to read about other things.

But resist taking the time to log, analyze trends, or make basal adjustments even when I know my control is slipping. Just don't want to give any more brain power to D. <BR/><BR/>I want to check out your tunes when I get home...some settings on our network here seem to prevent me from doing that.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375425579945781536noreply@blogger.com
