The other day, I got about 89 comments in my inbox. Apparently, dLife hiccuped. Or burped. Or something. Some of the comments were things I'd read already, but most were brand new. So if I haven't responded to your comments, that's why. I actually had been wondering, over the last couple of weeks, if anyone even read what I wrote because I wasn't getting any comments. Well, don't I feel silly now?

How many times have you been talking to someone about your diabetes diagnosis, and had them respond by saying the following: "You don't look sick!"?

 

And how many of you have ever rattled off a list of medical conditions to someone, only to have them say "You're too young to have that much wrong with you!"?

 

I'd be willing to bet just about every one with diabetes or any other invisible illness has heard those lines at some point.  I certainly have.  Admittedly, I find them rather annoying.

 

Some days, I don't even acknowledge those comments, because I just don't have it in me to deal with them.  Other days, however, I'm not so passive.

A poster named Peg asked a question on one of my recent posts. She wanted to know if I had any suggestions on how to get her grandson to stop sneaking food that he wasn't supposed to have.

I don't know what kind of regimen your grandson is on, so I'm not sure exactly how much help I can be, but I'll give you suggestions for what we've done with Olivia. Maybe one of these will work with your grandson.

On one of my recent posts about Olivia and her stomach issues, Cathyiowa asked if I got an answer from the doctor about Olivia's stomach pain. O's pain is in her rib area as well as in her stomach. I don't have a specific answer just yet, but we did talk to the endo about it yesterday, at length.

I told the endocrinologist that Olivia's pediatrician had ordered another celiac test in addition to a full blood workup. Once those results are in (March 3rd, if you're keeping score at home), I should have more information. The endo didn't seem overly worried, but she did want to know the results. She mentioned h. pylori as a possible culprit, but after telling us the symptoms (which are really quite disgusting), she didn't think that was the problem.

I'm skipping the letter L - in favor of my very late Raise Your Voice post. Even later than I thought - because of technical difficulties... (Thank you, K) My voice still counts, I hope.

The countless days of senseless whirling
Numbers chugging, dancing in my head
Reminding me of their import

The unending barrage of needles and blood
And of damage and fear
Reminding me of my body's most drastic flaw

The every day of it

The every night of it

The demands

The requirements

The relentless, all-consuming weight of it
The wishing it was different - I was different
And the realization that you play the cards you're dealt

I watch, most days silent, as it destroys people I love.
This beast.
And I wonder how many healthful, strong days remain for me.

I look into eyes so like my own
Mirrors reflecting the days behind - the mistakes
And the days ahead? - For me?

Do you ever have that "D'oh! Why did I make such a big deal out of that" feeling/moment/day? That's kind of what I've been going through lately.

 

I feel really terrible saying this, but I think I'm doing OK without Dex. Which is kind of weird to me considering the amount of energy I put into getting my insurance company to approve the sensors.

 

I think one reason I fought so hard to get the sensors is because I had just started exercising again and I was (still am!) terrified of going low while walking. In the last twoish months since I started walking I haven't had any blood-sugar-related issues.

Being back to school is the hot topic lately. For me, being back to school is a big change. Not only do I move away from home again every semester, but also my schedule is constantly changing. The stress is different. The food is different. The exercise is different (walking an extra 3 miles a week around campus). My control is different.

 

Over the summer, I really watched what I was eating. I finally got my other health issues sorted out and had the potential to lose the weight I had gained because of them. I was motivated. So I started limiting my portions, choosing "smarter" carbs, and decreasing my overall intake of carbs.

You know, I read Carey Potash's post today and fully appreciated it.  Beyond appreciated it.  I could hear myself saying his exact words, aloud, to the faceless specter of diabetes in my bedroom doorway at 2:30 am last night. 

 

Thankfully, a confused phone call to my mother resulted in her at my door in a jiffy, coaxing my bloodsugar from a disastrous 28 mg/dl to 126 mg/dl over a two hour period.
