I am awake, but not really. There is a gray fog wrapped about my head, twirling in my eyes. And my eyes are itching, watering a little. My tongue and my teeth are absent, though I have a vague idea they're still there in my mouth. Missing in action too, my ability to vocalize appropriately. I test my speech and manage a breath and then "gug gug."
I see the ceiling above my head, white with the one little crack, or is it a crack? Crack? Where did that word come from? The ceiling sure looks bright. I like bright. Bride? In white. Like the ceiling. Where am I?
"Home." I think, and I might slur it aloud. "Machine."

Ok. So today I want to discuss some research that I think is very interesting and it has to do with your favorite cup of joe.
If you remember, back in early December I wrote an article called Hyperglycemia coffee anyone?. The article discussed my feelings about drinking coffee and how I thought it raised my sugar. I had a few people comment on my post who had also experienced this blood sugar raising phenomenon as well.

I had a very nice time this weekend sweating it out at the sweat lodge. I had a few concerns that were diabetes related, but in the end everything went very well and I learned a lot. I arrived at the location where the sweat would take place feeling prepared for an event I had no way of knowing how to prepare. The experience will never be forgotten and one that I will always be proud of. Ultimately the lesson I was reminded of this weekend is that you should never let diabetes stop you from trying anything that you want to do no matter what anybody else says and that preparation is always key to a good time.

Yesterday I revealed to the world that Symlin is giving me tummy trouble, to put it mildly. Just for grins, I got on the scale this morning and I'm down 4 lb. since the weekend. Most of this, we can assume, is, ahem, water weight (bwahahahaha!).
Yesterday was better than the day before, but today has been worse. I'm not nauseated and my appetite continues to diminish, but my tummy is making terrible gurggly noises and sending me to the potty more than I'd like. At least once today I thought about emailing Dr. C to tell him I can't handle it anymore and that this is no way to live or lose weight. (READ MORE)

Greetings everyone!
My name is Mike Durbin, and I am excited to be joining the team of writers here at Blogabetes. I've been living with type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure (CHF) since I was diagnosed on December 29, 2008. I was 24 at the time.
Notice that I said living with type 2 diabetes and CHF. Despite how difficult and scary the last year and a half has been, with adjusting to a new way of living and the near death experiences I've faced, I’ve not stopped living. If anything, there's more liveliness in me now than there ever was before. It's amazing how it takes a near death experience to make you realize just how precious life is and how important it is to live each day to the fullest. We never know when we might reach out last.

I generally consider myself to be fairly mature for my age. I've attributed my maturity to the experiences I've been through, mostly from dealing with a chronic illness from such a young age. It definitely puts a different spin on your whole life. You consider life as temporary, something to be cherished. You know you don't have all the time in the world.
Despite the maturity, I've still got growing up to do. There are things that diabetes and all my other experiences haven't taught me. I still have the passion and will of my youth to contend against on a regular basis. I'm holding on to pieces of that youth for good reason, seeing where maturity can change life for the worse in some ways.

I stood over them, staring like an obsessed fan. The sun was just beginning to rise and there was a hint of pink light in the room.
5:30 a.m. and I was already running several minutes late.
The Mr., who doesn't have to go to work today, was snuggling with No. 3, who came in minutes before saying, "Mom, can I sweep wish you?" I pulled her close to me, smelled her hair and marveled at how soft her skin is.
I forced myself out of bed. I had a wonderful walk yesterday morning, had hardly walked at all the week before. So tired... I've never been a morning person. Even though I'm already out of bed and brushing my teeth, I still look for excuses not to go.

I read a lot of blogs. I guess, in hopes of identifying things I like about those blogs and bringing them to my own online writing. Also, just because I'm interested in other people's experiences, what they have to say, and how they express those experiences.

In a little over a week, my life is going to take a drastic change. I will be transitioning into something completely new that I really can't wait for even though I'm almost too scared to admit it. I'm excited about this next phase of my life. I'm excited to start a new chapter and feel more balanced. I'm excited that God has had my back from the start and is bringing me into things that I can't even believe.
Next week, I'll start training to be a Casework Supervisor for the Court Appointed Special Advocates (or CASA, for short). It's a full time position coordinating CASA volunteers and cases. My mom has volunteered for them for many years and I'm 100% behind their mission to speak up for abused and neglected children through volunteer work.
