I find that dinner seems to throw my sugars off worse than anything! I guess I just can't help myself whenever it gets to be chow time. I LOVE ME SOME FOOD! It never fails; I'll go through the whole day and not have one high sugar and then BAM! Hyperglycemia CITY!

My eyes get way too big for my stomach!

Usually I'll come home after a long day, start raiding the cabinets and throwing random stuff together, next thing you know, I got a plate a nachos, some peanut butter cookies, and a Popsicle!

I know, I know, I am supposed to eat healthy all the time...or something like that. I don't want people to think that because I'm a trainer that I eat perfect every day! I'm only human!

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.

This post by our very own Carey Potash - got me thinking about how I'd feel if we found a cure. I decided to practice how I might bid diabetes farewell - Dear John-style.

Life is fascinating to me. I truly am blown away by it. I am amazed with this world, the people in it and everything about it. Tonight I was watching a show that was very real. The show was called "Intervention". I don't normally get too caught up in television. I don't find much on TV that I can learn from or that I find really enjoyable. I like seeing things that are as real as possible. I like learning from and being around different types of people and gaining knowledge from real experiences. That is why I enjoy this website that you're on right now- they are real stories from real people. When you have diabetes, I think you see life through a different lens. You learn to appreciate the "realness" in what and who is around you. (READ MORE)

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, bud. Been meaning to talk to you about this for a while. I've noticed that an awkward, unspoken rule has formed between us. Like you hold back when sharing concerns about little Timmy. Damn, that kid is cute. Have you met his father yet? Kidding.
You mention typical bumps and bruises sometimes, but you're quick to get off the subject, because "it's nothing compared to what you go through with Charlie and diabetes," you say.
It's true; it's not easy managing Charlie's diabetes. But you're allowed to be exhausted because you were up all night with the baby even though he doesn't have diabetes.
You're allowed to be worried over a rash or a bee sting or an especially peculiar smelling fart for that matter even though your child doesn't have diabetes.
I want to hear about it. I want to hear all about it.
In turn, I find myself not telling you everything about Charlie. I feel like you must be so tired of my complaining. (READ MORE)

I'm (cough) just wondering a few things about your products (sniffle). You see, before I had diabetes, I had many, many wonderful choices of cough drop flavors to help me get through a cold or even to ease the pain of a scratchy throat (blow nose). Now, though, I'm limited to a very few, select flavors in your sugar-free line.

 

(sneeze) And while we're on the topic of your sugar-free line, can you kindly explain why there are fewer cough drops per bag than the sugar-filled variety? Why (sniffle) do I have to pay the same amount for fewer pieces of relief? (cough) Furthermore, can you tell me why the "value pack" of your regular variety has 80 drops and the "value pack" of the sugar-free drops has only 70 and I pay the same amount (coughcough)?
