I got to the office at 8:00 AM. My appointment was for 8:30 so I figured I would read some magazines in the waiting room for a while before I met with my new endocrinologist.  

 

After walking down a very long, narrow, and deserted hallway I found the room number. I took a deep breath and grabbed the door knob. It was locked. 

 

Down the hallway and down the elevator I went and found a bench to park on for a while. As time ticked away I started thinking about what my doctor should look like or act like. I took out my Blackberry to check my email and to post some Tweets. 

 

8:20 rolled around and I headed back upstairs to the long, narrow, deserted hallway that I am sure I have seen in a movie. The door was still locked. I leaned up against the wall and waited.

One of the most frustrating aspects of diabetes management is the fact that diabetes has a mind of its own. At any given moment, your body can do the strangest things that you have no control over. Stress, hormones or the weather can have a huge impact on blood sugars and insulin levels. And it's the worst when it's completely unexpected.
Every so often I have weeks where I run higher than normal. I've never found a correlation to one specific trigger, but usually I notice it's when multiple triggers seem to go off at the same time. Whether it be a combination of increased stress and decreased sleep or change in hormones and a change in exercise or maybe even all four, I run high for a few days. (READ MORE)

While procrastinating on the internet today, I came across a funny article that reminded me of my early days of diabetes. The Roadkill Diet: A Low-Carb, High-Varmint Sensation?
The sad thing about this article is it refers to a report about how squirrels near my home are not safe to eat. First off, I had never heard of people eating squirrels before, but perhaps I've lived a sheltered life. Second, I live right outside New York City. Why would anyone in my area be eating squirrels?

I know several people who participate in fantasy football leagues. I just never got into that sort of thing. I really have no interest investing so much time and energy into football. For those of you not familiar with fantasy football, points are earned based on how well one's fantasy team players perform each week. It's a pretty big deal for some. Participants draft players, trade players, decide which players to start and which to bench and they even act as legal representation when their players get in trouble for injecting illegal substances, abusing their wives and/or organizing dog fighting rings.
But I really do like a little competition. I certainly invest plenty of time and energy into diabetes and my knowledge of the disease is fairly good. What if we had our very own fantasy league? A fantasy league for diabetes. Well, look no further. (READ MORE)

I was reading to my son last night. We read every night, since he was about 3 months old. James has a book of fairy tales that he particularly favors. Last night he chose it and the story "Goldilocks and the 3 Bears". A nice adaptation of it can be found here.
As I'm sure you all recall, Mama Bear makes porridge for breakfast, but it is too hot to eat, so the Bear family goes out for a walk. Goldilocks, who is wandering about the forest alone, comes upon their cottage and walks right in. Papa Bear's porridge is too hot for her, Mama Bear's porridge is too sweet, but Baby Bear's porridge is just right so she eats it up. (READ MORE)

I can feel it. Mom and I are standing in line to pay for some clothes for an event I'm going to on Saturday night with The Mr. I'm OK, but I know a low is coming.

 

I don't want to alert Mom. I don't want her to get scared for me. I look around to see if there's anywhere I can sort of inconspicuously check my sugar.

 

We walk to the car and I get in the driver's seat. I've forgotten the potential low for some reason. Must not have been too bad. I start driving. It's dark and I'm in a parking lot I don't know very well. We have to do a lot of maneuvering through the parking lot. Then there's construction on the street.

 

By the time we get to a clear place on the street, I start to feel that slightly shaky feeling that often tells me that I'm not low, but I'm dropping. It's not a full-blown low, but I know it's coming. I can feel it.

Our summer classic film series continues with a scene from the movie Jaws. That is, if the shark had diabetes.
 

(The Beach)

 

Alex Kintner: Mom, can I get my raft and go back out in the water?
 

Mrs. Kintner: Lemme see your fingers. Alex Kintner! They are beginning to prune.
 

Alex: Just lemme go out a little longer?
 

Mrs. Kintner: Just ten more minutes.
 

Sean Brody: (singing) Oh do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man …
 

Witness: Holy shit! Did you see that?
 

Chief Brody: Get everybody out of the water! Get out! Get out!
 

Mrs. Kintner: (screaming) Alex! Alex! It's headed straight for my baby!!! Oh my god!!!! Oh my god!!!!! Alex!!!!

Think Hank Azaria. Not Hank from Mad About You. Hank as a gay latino in Birdcage. You have that image, right? Can you hear his voice? Oh, man is he a riot. And as long as he’s not acting like a gay latino, he’s quite the looker, too.
