To describe diabetes in three words is very difficult. That's because at any given time, your thoughts and feelings about this disease are changing. So I guess one word that comes to mind is unpredictable . It is important to note, however, that with better control comes more predictability. I think I view my diabetes as little bit more unpredictable because I have trouble keeping my sugars regulated. I feel a person who can maintain an A1C of 6 can predict their blood sugar a lot more accurate than a person with hemoglobin of 8. Maybe I'm wrong though. Another word that I would use to describe my diabetes is unfair.

I was talking recently with a friend of ours whose twelve year old daughter was just diagnosed with type 1. As much as I love my friend, her attitude toward her daughter and her daughter's diabetes scared me a little. She uses the phrase "It's that simple," quite a bit. For example, she recently informed me that she told her daughter 'Sit your butt in the chair and test your bloodsugar. You have to do it - it's that simple.' She continued by telling me that crying about diabetes is not tolerated in her house. (READ MORE)

I spend a lot of time thinking about if I will ever have complications from my diabetes. The very thought of diabetes problems scares the crap out of me. My determination to ward of complications has a direct correlation with how I control my sugars on a daily basis. In other words, every time I treat a low or a high, thoughts of amputations or blindness are running through my head. Those fears are some BIG MOTIVATORS. I don't want to come across as the guy who just sits around and waits for something bad to happen. I am not the type of person who just mopes around hopelessly or just sits around thinking of nothing else but diabetes issues. I try to stay positive most of the time. My glass is usually "half full" rarely "half empty." (READ MORE)

The first time I knew “it” was in ninth grade. My class had to lead a chapel session at my private school. I was in charge of reading a passage of scriptures and leading music with some of the other kids. It was the first chapel my class had done. We’d be in front of a hundred of our peers and a dozen of our teachers.

(Continued From Previous Post)
I am dependent on insulin. But I am otherwise an incredibly independent person. I like taking risks - on my own. I enjoy the feeling of having accomplished something by my own will and my own action. I am more outgoing and more confident than I think I would have been if I'd not been diagnosed. A combination of wanting to be able to handle my disease on my own, without pity or judgment AND the experiences I had as a young woman - through the Clara Barton Camp and the ADA's Youth Congress - transformed me from a shy, albeit precocious kid, to a person who stands on her own. A person who keeps her head up and battles mightily - in the face of whatever wrong she sees and whatever challenges she faces. But would I trade my independence for a life without diabetes? I would - though again, who's to tell if something else might have brought me to this same place. (READ MORE)

This might be a little tough for me to write because, frankly, it was a little tough for me to hear. Especially coming from such a tough guy.

Monday and Tuesday, I took some time to myself. I didn't do anything spectacular. I just developed my new plan and recouped from the last week's health turmoil. But mainly, I was giving my emotions a little space, a little time to cool off.
You see, my moods have been all over the place in the past month or two. Marvin has unfortunately been right in the midst of all these changing emotions. He's the one person that I see most often now. And he's high on the list of emotional triggers right now as well. The kind of attraction or affection that makes you value every word that comes out of their mouth.

Today has been quite a day in the diabetes world. My DIABETES series is on the second "E" and I'm not sure I know what to say. I used "exercise" for my first one. This one seems a bit tough. It feels a bit limiting.
E: Emotions is the only word that I really know to use for this post. Today has been an emotional day regarding diabetes. In my usual morning routine, I checked emails and Facebook. In the middle of my check, I came across some devastating news.
It's regarding a family in the CWD community. And for their privacy, I am going to let you find your own way to the story. Unfortunately, diabetes took a horrible toll for this family. In my most frightening way.

I'm feeling a strange mix of emotions these past few days. Maybe it's getting back home from my European extravaganza. Or maybe it's just a normal emotional procedure for the place that I'm at in life.
The jarring part of it all is that I'm really not sure WHAT I'm feeling. I'm feeling something, lots of things. But I just can't seem to place actual names and terms with the emotions. I'm trying, but it doesn't seem to be working.
A big part of me is just feeling really raw with everything that is going on. Raw is a term that I really like to use in my emotional life. It fits a lot of emotions and it's a strong term. Raw is the feeling that your guts are hanging out for the world to see. Raw is the way it feels to remove a bandaid, to start something new, or to hit rock bottom. It's everything and anything you want it to be.
