Hello everyone! I have a case of the winter time blues. It is very cold in the Columbus Ohio area. We have had almost 12" of snow this week. For some folks, the sun is shining and everyone is wearing shorts and teashirts this time of the year. Cabin fever is setting in quickly. Does anyone have a a good joke? Does anyone have a funny story about their diabetes despite the fact that it is a terrible disease. You know diabetes is a full-time job. There are no days off. Just think how diabetes affects our everyday lives. From the time our eyes open in the morning until the last yawn of the night. I get tired of pricking my fingers, counting carbs, preparing my insulin shots, giving myself shots, taking my Actos & Glucotrol. And the cost of being diabetic is costly, ugh! I guess the only good thing I can say about my diabetes is that my blood sugar is under control. I have to work very hard every day. I like tight control. I feel happy when my meter readings are under 85 in the morning. I remember when my fasting blood sugar readings were above 170 and how frustrated I would feel. I have spent the last 6-9 months researching everything on diabetes and taking insulin. I did not know that diabetes would affect my life like it has. When I was diagnosed my diabetes was very mild. 10 years have gone by and my diabetes is much worse, but it is under control. Come into the lounge and say hi! Have a good day and night
