Take That

Yes, I CAN eat ice cream.


Loved this hot fudge sundae, with a cherry on top...

(SWAG = 50g -> I'll leave your mind working on how that D-Math worked out...)

Take THAT, Wendell!

And THIS...


See that window to the right there? I believe that's the office of a certain publisher...

So, Take THAT Southside Times...

Even on your own FRONT STEPS, I have no problem eating ice cream.

And so can the rest of the Diabetes Community.

Not matter what you say or write, those of us Living With Diabetes are more than capable of eating ice cream even as we do what we do in managing our D-Lives and overall health effectively.

DON'T tell us otherwise, or pretend to know what's best for OUR worlds.

This is what I think of your writing...


Thanks for playing.

You're awesome! Thanks for letting us all know about this "article" so we can take even more enjoyment from eating ice cream. Diabetes may suck, but diabetics rock!

That rocks. I love sticking it to people who tell diabetic they can't do something. It's not only rude but completely wrong. Although, my rocky road ice cream may disagree with your vanilla, I definitely think we agree on the purpose of it all: that we control our lives with diabetes.

Where you had your ice cream is even better than having it in the first place! That picture needs to be picture of the year - I doubt anyone could ever come up with a better one!

Why We Need Diabetes Awareness Month... More Than Ever

Image
Hello again, Diabetes Awareness Month. Yup, November marks another national awareness month -- aimed at those in America who are pancreatically-challenged or rapidly heading in that direction. And on Nov. 14, we'll once again mark international World Diabetes Day honoring the birthday of insulin co-discoverer Dr. Frederick Banting, who was born on this day in 1891. As always during this time of year, we've been inundated with marketing pitches from organizations big and small. And as always around this time of year, many in our community ponder the perennial question: Does it all matter? Really? Admittedly, it's not outside the realm of reasonableness to question the effectiveness of NDAM (shorthand for National Diabetes Awareness Month). But our country is in a different place in 2017 compared to past years, is it not? It's a good time to set skepticism aside to argue that November's designation as Diabetes Awareness Month truly does matte

Flapping the Gums

No time for my chatty-typing fingers to engage you today. I'm off to the dentist's office for a dreaded appointment. Thanks to the wonders of D-enduced periodontal disease, this should be a visit full of poking, prodding, pain, and likely some bleeding. Great times. Not looking forward to this visit. Or the next more painful one. I see soup in my future. Maybe Easy Mac. But, I digress. That's all fodder for a future blog post. In the meantime today, talk amongst yourselves. Flap those online gums in the blogging world. And remember to brush and floss.

Welcome to the End of the World?

Well, did anyone think this is what 2020 would look like? Global pandemic and worldwide public health emergency, everything shutting down and a potential economic collapse on the horizon. Holy fuck. ' A "Pandemic (in Quarantine) Playlist on my Spotify is now a thing, and my own remote worklife now in its 8th year has taken on an eeerie new spin. As are my watchlists full of dystopian and post-apocalyptic TVs and movies for streaming in these strange times. All of my work travel and conferences for the spring have been nixed, and we're all watching closely to see what the impact may be for summer events. What about my "underlying health condition" that is type 1 diabetes? So far, so good. No signs of anything astray. As I've shared over on DiabetesMine, I have been using the Tandem t:slim X2 device since mid-October 2019. That followed three-and-a-half years of Multiple Daily Dosing with pens and Afrezza inhaled insulin insulin. I starte
