Dear Diabetes Supply Bag,
It is with regret that I write to inform you that your services are no longer needed. Though your time with me was short, you have provided me with dependability, style and functionality that I will forever appreciate.
I remember when I found you. My family and I were leaving on our first airplane trip. For the sake of airline carryone rules, I needed something I could pile all my diabetes supplies and regular purse supplies in. I searched the purses and handbags area at my supercenter rather quickly. Some bags were too big, some were too small. Some were just plain ugly. Not only did I need something for that trip, but I needed the bag to be functional after the trip, as well. (READ MORE)

Hey there! Some notable messages from the email bag this past week.
Carey
I would like to support you and your family in this campaign to find a cure for children's diabetes, most specifically for your Charlie. Your daily routine with Charlie is overwhelming to read and enough to bring a tear to ones eye as I'm sure you have shed many. I realize now how much I take for granted every day and realize, although troubling, the temper tantrums from Ricky because we won't give him anymore apple juice is nothing to get upset about. I won't be able to attend your walk but I can support your efforts. Good Luck with your walk and we'll be thinking of you.
Dave

This weekend was a busy one. Typically we are busy folk. It seems there is always an event, party, meeting, or whatnot to attend. This weekend was no different.
I had a happy and successful start to Saturday with a loss on the old Weight Watchers scale. The weather was perfect which was both bitter and sweet since most of the country is having horrible weather. But living in Southern California has its definite pluses and minuses. The next stop was a friends Baby Shower in which all the guys were going to hang out at the house with the dad-to-be as the gals had the shower somewhere else. (READ MORE)

The diabetes bag is relatively light but it weighs heavy upon us. We panic when we lose sight of it like it's one of our children lost in a food store. It is soft and black with pictures of rockets on it. It contains about 13 alcohol wipes, a meter with a blurry screen, two vials of test strips, a white pricker with a tiny burgundy blood stain on the tip, about a dozen light-blue lancets, a tube of cake gel, Glucagon, two 15-carb apple juice boxes, a granola bar, a bag of Goldfish crackers and a pair of my black underwear???

So there's been a lot of talk around Blogbetes lately about logging. Why we do it, how we do it, what tools we use to do it. I have a confession to make: I haven't logged in a very long time. Frankly, I'm afraid to. (READ MORE)

Diabetes has always entailed a lot of paraphernalia. Back in the day, meters were three times the size they are now. Bottles of strips weighed a ton. And syringes came with much longer needles. Plus there were juice boxes, snack packs, and rolls of candy. But even now, with all the advances in this modern day and age, diabetes comes with baggage (and I'm not talking the emotional kind).

I'll admit it. I'm a big fan of cheap wine. Yummy. Give me some Boones Farm Strawberry Zinfandel on a hot summer night, and I'll get my buzz on - and get it on good. And I used to, back in the day, enjoy a nice cigarette (or ten) with my wine. Even now, every so often, I'll get a craving for a cigarette. Thankfully, the urge is usually cured by the smell of a heavy smoker passing by and occasionally cured by a simple, single drag on another person's gross-stick. (READ MORE)

Everyone needs to take a personal day every now and then. At least that's how I feel. Lately, It seems like I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I have been putting in some long days of landscaping work, I just returned from a weekend trip to Omaha, and my girlfriend is in the process of getting a job back in her home state. And needless to say, all of the chaos and daily schedule changes have my blood sugars going a little crazy. (READ MORE)

Tired. Left side of my back hurts when I cough. Throat feels glunky. Head feels whirly and fluzzered. Finding comfort in dark chocolate. Don't feel like writing.

 

No real desire to run to the computer and blog about a conversation I had with my co-worker about how Charlie doesn't need to eat sugar-free foods like her type 2 father.

 

Not in the educating mood.

 

No strength for sarcasm. 

 

No desire to give an explanation to the lady working the Christmas tree farm when she says "I like your bag" as if its filled with Lego pieces or mascara. 

 

Thanks! Merry Christmas! I carry this bag around so that I can take blood from my son twelve times a day. Wanna watch? And for your information, it's got pictures of rocket ships. Lots of 'em. Manly rocket ships that terrorize the galaxy!

I am sitting in the waiting room at the hairdresser, flipping through a magazine that highlights what celebrity stylists are doing with hair that is blonder, smoother, tamer and thinner than my own. I'm tired -but I've worked all day - so that's normal. My appointment was a half hour ago, so I think that my feeling totally annoyed is probably justified. It's not until I see two heads of the same extension-filled yellow hair on a pair of identical faces staring at me from the same shiny magazine page that I realize - something could be amiss with my blood sugar.
