There are many things that suck about being diabetic and I’m sure you’re all aware of most of them, including things like heart disease, gangrene, chopped off limbs, blindness, etc ( Read more... )

Probably you already read this
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/05/nyregion/05diabetes.html?_r=1&incamp=article_popular_1&oref=slogin

but I found it pretty interesting. My brother-in-law, you and a couple other friends of mine have diabetes, but of course you can only know what these things are like when you're living with them. Your grumpiness under these circumstances is of course excused.

I was going to send you a link to it, too. Thought it would be heartening to read about a 90-year-old and an 86-year-old who've made it to their advanced ages in pretty darn good shape despite Type I diabetes. ... Kathy.

actually hadn't read it elkanikkole February 7 2006, 22:48:59 UTC

these are the diabetics that scare me. freakin over-achievers. but yeah, good for them! at least I've never passed out from low bloodsugar. That must mean something....

my b.s.es are pretty much stabilized today... though there was again some carb-loading after a bit of extracurricular activity in the new home last night.

I heard a smidgen of a show on NPR the other night about these new insulin inhalers. And then I had to turn it off because the woman doing the show was tap-dancing on my very last nerve. Which explains a loittle more why I don't understand diabetes all the way. like, for instance, if your blood sugar's always dropping, how come you're so darn sweet most of the time.

(Yeah, you can slap me now.)

i'm so sweet you know i couldn't slap you elkanikkole February 7 2006, 22:49:46 UTC

sorry to hear about the tough times. Perhaps you would like someone to send you a housewarming gift in the form of treats?

we miss you. hope the new house is radtacular.

love, michelle

hi elkanikkole February 13 2006, 21:17:41 UTC

the blood sugars have evened out, luckily. we miss you guys too! we were just talking about the s.b. selling off all of his CDs for his pedal steel last night at a barbecue.

the new house is super radtacular, by the way. come and visit!

in the meantime, can you write an article for kitchen sink for my section? xoxo elka
