I keep saying that my new diagnosis doesn't change anything, but it does. It just does. I can't put my finger on it, and many of the things that are going through my mind as being "worse" than having type 2 are likely just unfounded fears. (READ MORE)

Sometimes diabetes really does come in handy in school. The knowledge I have obtained throughout more than fifteen years of this disease leads me to information overload. All this information gives me insight into the psychology of chronic illness, the details of diabetes, an overview of complications, and the added bonuses of nutrition, exercise, and all that jazz.

Finally, an intellegent book about type 2 diabetes that tells it like it is and offers practical advice without talking down to me or engaging in quackery. Reading it, I feel like I did when met best friend Sue in middle school or when first found Diabetic Mommy. There's someone else who gets it! (READ MORE)

Restless all night.

 

Keeping waking and look at the clock.

 

Saturday morning.

 

4:56 a.m. I need to go potty.

 

Sleep stupor wants me hold it several hours.

 

Don't want to be awake for the day at 5 a.m.

 

No, need to go now.

 

Reach for Toohey.

 

Hmmm, arm felt freakishly heavy and asleep.

 

I'm low.

 

No, can't be. Don't get overnight lows.

 

Don't feel lows until I stand.

 

Walk through fog and darkness to the bathroom.

 

Hit shoulder on door frame.

 

Sitting, I wake enough to convince myself to test.
