A friend of mine died last night, following a battle with
lymphoma. The disease came back last summer after he had been in remission about a year. It was discovered about a week after my daughter was born. The prognosis was not good with a recurrence within a year at mid-life. He was only 45 and left two teenage children.
We had fallen out of touch in recent years, but I knew through his sister that he had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

But, that's not an option.
Susanne and I had a very nice and extremely rare night out alone on Saturday. We had dinner and saw some great live music at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia. My mother and step-father, the angels that they are, agreed to mind the animals at home - checking Charlie's blood sugar every seven-and-a-half seconds. By the time we got home, the piece of paper with numerous blood sugar numbers looked like a page ripped out of a fifth-grade mathematics text book.

I typically bleed easily. I’ve been that way for awhile. My body just doesn’t want to clot very quickly. Unfortunately, as a diabetic, I bleed more often than I don’t. Between finger pricks and infusion set changes, there’s always blood. Sometimes, there’s very little. My fingers will refuse to bleed no matter how much I try to get them to. The infusion set won’t bleed at all when I pull the old one off.
