Perhaps I'm pushing the envelope a little too much here, but personally, I don't think so! Were all adults here,..RIGHT!? Although sex may not be one of our biggest concerns as diabetics, it certainly is just one more thing we have to think about.

I was searching around in my head for different things to write about today and then all of the sudden this video popped into my head. I also got the inspiration for this post after I injected 15 units of fast acting insulin and, well, let's just say the mood hit.

I bet that if you're reading this you have had at least one experience with hypoglycemia while "in the moment". Am I wrong? Of course not, it's a part of life and being diabetic that's not very fun. (caution kids, it gets more awkward)

I had to laugh at the lead paragraph on this story.
"In the first study to use continuous monitoring throughout pregnancy , researchers found that levels of glycemic control differ significantly between women with type 1 diabetes and those with type 2."
I would think that blood sugar levels between type 1 and type 2 patients always differ significantly. The nature of the different diseases make it sort of obvious. I don't know why pregnancy should be any different.
Let me throw in a disclaimer here - I am not a medical professional, I'm not even in a field related to medicine. This is my own interpretation of the article. Discuss anything you find interesting with your own doctors. You can read the abstract here as well. (READ MORE)

Yesterday was just a crappy day in general. I think my brain was just working overtime which is never good for me. I try to keep the depression that comes with having diabetes at bay but sometimes it is overwhelming. Sometimes it seems nothing will get me out of it.
I have found the best way for me to get this junk out is to get it out literally literally! I write my blog here at dLife and my personal blog. I share the good times and bad. So many times I have thought, "no one wants to hear about my cruddy day" but whenever I have, someone else has commented on how they too feel that way now and then. (READ MORE)

I was riding in the car with my friend the other day when all of the sudden, pretty much out of nowhere, he asked me the golden question. "So, what would you do Andy if you didn't have diabetes"? Immediately a weird feeling took over me. It was like my mind knew the answer to this simple question, but to my disbelief, I was unable to come up with anything. It's a question that I have asked myself over a million times. I have spent a lot of hours thinking about how my life would be, or what I would be doing, if I didn't have diabetes. Amazingly though, I didn't really know what to say. I kind of laughed, and looked at him and said, "dude,, I don't have any idea".

I was reading Vivian's blog the other day and she talked about finding peace when you deal with chronic illness. She deals with two - her son has type 1 and her husband has MS. She's a woman with an awful lot on her plate and she spoke of how she wished she could just accept her lot in life, make peace with the hand she was dealt. I responded on her blog, but it got me thinking.

I don't know if you can ever totally make peace with your lot in life. In fact, I don't think that you should. You can accept it for what it is - your life - but you can still be pissed off about it at times and cry about it at times and blog about it at times. I don't think people should just meekly accept things. I think getting dealt a bum hand completely allows you to rage about it.
