I love this time of year so much and there are dozens of reasons why. Christmas time elicits so many warm feelings of love and togetherness. My mind is instantly filled with great memories and thoughts. My body just seems to run on happy auto-pilot all the time. I just feel good. People in general just seem to be so much more pleasant. Everybody's energy is so much more peaceful and caring. I constantly wonder how the world would be if everyone would just stay in this peaceful mind frame year round. Wouldn't that just be amazing? I wish. Right? One of the things that I like the most is hearing all the Christmas songs.

As people with diabetes, we have to make choices about literally everything everyday. Much of diabetes management is trial and error, and many of those decisions and choices we make daily lead to error.
Christmas is a time of gifting, and in the magazine publishing world, we often get bombarded by gifts--quite often of the foody nature--from advertisers or other clients. Last year around this time, we received an enormous gift box of food from Harry & David. It was enough to feed our office of six for lunch one day and leave us drooling over leftovers for several days. So when the same box arrived today, we all went crazy over it. (READ MORE)

'Twas the night before Christmas and Charlie was low. He hovered in the fifties and sixties three other times that day, as we hosted a family Christmas eve gathering. The seasoned veterans that we are, we took the lows in stride and had a wonderful day. A juicebox here, an extra cookie there and Charlie was back in business. (READ MORE)

It's always a challenge buying presents for a teenager. They usually want something expensive or impractical or, generally, a combination of the two. And since my husband and I are broker than broke things at the International Broke Festival, expensive and impractical isn't going to happen this year.

However, I think I have come up with an ingenious solution to the problem and one that may even win me a cool mom award. Not the Cool Mom of the year, but maybe for the month, possibly even for the quarter. I'm getting Olivia a cell phone.

After making those Christmas lights the other day, I got to thinking about what else you could do with the flotsam and jetsam of life with diabetes. A few ideas were:

1. Test strip bottle garland - using fishing line, thread thru where the cap joins the bottle. 100 bottles should make a manageable garland.
2. If you really want to drive yourself mental, make garland out of used test strips. You could either thread them on fishing wire using an upholstery needle or you could glue them together. I have doubts as to whether the glue would hold up for very long, though.
3. Syringe icicles. Snip the needles off (obviously), put fishing line or ribbon around the plunger end and hang on the tree.
4. Syringe icicle lights - using the same Tiny Lights that I used for the insulin bottle lights, string the syringes (again, snip the needles) onto the lights. (READ MORE)

We're pretty staunch when it comes to supporting all things D. I don't like to discriminate, but if forced to choose, I'll always choose the diabetic brand. We only use diabetic dish detergent (fruity breath scent); we landscape with only diabetes-friendly shrubs and flowers and in the summers we go fishing in only diabetic waters.
That said, when Christmas comes around, we only sing diabetes Christmas songs in our household. Classics such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Bolus, The Little Pumper Boy and I Saw Mommy Ripping the Insurance Rep a New One fill our home with yuletide cheer.
And who can forget this classic adaptation of Let it Snow.
Bet He's Low!
Oh, my son's blood sugars are frightful Of course Ms. Berry's are delightful And since his eyes look like a Picasso I bet he's low, bet he's low, bet he's low (READ MORE)

I've been a very good girl this year and my wants are few. But, Santa, you know my fondness for things that go beep, bing and buzz, the little frisson of excitement I get at the thought of an LCD or a digital readout. With that in mind, here are a few diabetes-related gadgets I would love to have under the tree this year:

A Salter Travel Scale. It's a snip at $30 and sure would come in handy when we're out and about. And it would slip into my pocketbook quite easily. And it's really freakin' cool.
