Over the weekend, I had a low blood sugar in the middle of the night that left me feeling like I had been beaten soundly and left in a ditch. (Covered in petrol, a la Eddie Izzard.)
It was a strange experience, though, because the "low hangover" feeling was neatly accompanied by a feeling of guilt. This low wasn't one that came out of no where and smacked up upside the head. This low was the result of a miscalculation while I was at dinner. (READ MORE)

When Olivia first went on a pump, I didn't even think about where she'd put it during the day, how to handle the hanging tubing or whether or not she would feel uncomfortable having a piece of equipment on her. I just wanted to allow her more freedom. Freedom to eat when she wanted rather than letting the insulin dictate. Freedom to have an extra piece of pizza or to go get an ice cream on a sweltering evening. Freedom from having shots 3, 4, 5, sometimes 6 times a day. It was a huge step and one that neither of us would undo.

I was just reading Kerri's column over on Diatribe and she discusses how she likes to conceal her pump, not out of any shame (and I've met Kerri - shame isn't really on her list) but because she'd rather be the one to let people know about her diabetes. She didn't want her pump to announce it for her.

Olivia made that statement today after school. She does a lot of instant messaging with her friends from camp and today she was talking with one of the girls who was in her cabin last summer. Her friend, E, was diagnosed about 9 months ago.

"I'm glad I'm not E, mum."

"Uh, ok, why?"

"Well, she was just diagnosed. She has to get used to this whole lifestyle. I don't even remember not having diabetes. I'm lucky I was so young when I was diagnosed."

I didn't really know what to say to that. I mean, given the choice of being diagnosed at 3 years old or 13 years old, I'd have taken the extra ten years with her pancreas functioning. But I can also see her point of view - she doesn't have this huge lifestyle adjustment to make.

Yesterday my daughter Gillian decided to wear this shirt to school.
When we did the ADA walk last November, I made shirts with different sayings on them and Gillian’s says, “My Dad is #1” but right under the number sign there is the word “type” in very small letters.
When I got home and saw that she had been wearing it all day I asked her, “What made you want to wear that today?”

“I dunno, I just wanted to. A lot of kids asked about it and I told them all about diabetes.” She was so proud.
“Well what did you say?” (READ MORE)

I hate to admit this, but I'll risk being unpopular and just say how I feel. I'm getting pretty sick of the Jonas brothers. It's like they are everywhere. In my Us Weekly, in Parenting magazine, on the Target commercials and now here on dLife.

 

I'm not sure exactly why I find them so annoying. It could be that we're from the same community. One of them went to my husband's alma mater, and my husband's cousins went to church where their dad was a pastor. I've been to the church too, and saw their dad preach and sing there (quite moving, I might add) long before they became famous.

I'm not always looking for evidence of diabetes, but sometimes I find it grinning back at me from the most obscure places. A few weeks ago, I found a bit of diabetes in an unexpected place - an infusion set cover in the change compartment of my car. It looked oddly medicinal, peering out from the bright red casing, hidden alongside a random house key and assorted bits of change.

I used to really like Dr. Oz. I loved the way his book YOU on a Diet makes complicated bodily functions make sense. I loved his simplistic approach to hunger and satiety, how you can satisfy your appetite centers with something other than food. I loved his easy recipes and simple exercise plan. It's all so, well, simple.
Dr. Oz is really good at simplifying things. Sometimes that's a good thing. Sometimes it's a bad thing. A very bad thing.
I was half-watching one of the morning TV talk shows earlier this week. When I saw the good doctor take the stage I turned up the volume. He was promoting his new book, YOU Staying Young. The segment featured a man and a woman who had followed the plan for three months and not only lost weight, they looked and felt younger and healthier than they had in years. (READ MORE)
