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.

Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year but for so many it is not. The holidays tend to be a time that people reflect on the past year and sometimes that can be a real downer.
This Christmas will not be so “Holly Jolly” for me.
My health was pretty good as far as my diabetes goes. I had no major incidents like DKA or hospitalization of any kind so that front has been pretty good. In fact, I may have some really good news to share soon but I will wait for the official word on that.
