We all know
how much it costs to effectively manage diabetes properly. There
are the sugars machines (which I have yet to have to pay for) and
the strips. The strips are where they really stick it to you. “Here
have a FREE machine. Now, all you have to do is pay around $50 a
bottle for strips so you can actually use the machine.”
Then, for those on a pump there are the pump supplies. Or, if
you’re on MDI you have to buy...

Riley had his endo appointment on Friday.
His A1C had gone up from 7.2 to 7.8. I wasn’t surprised. On the way
to the appointment Riley and I took a guess as to what his A1C
would be. I said 7.8 and he said 8.1. I’m glad, at least, that I
was right and he was wrong.
December was pretty rough on his
numbers. There were highs and lows (mainly highs) with no pattern
to them. Still, I knew I hadn’t been on top of his numbers like I
should. I knew I didn’t...

I’ve had lots of blog posts running through
my mind lately. But, due to some sort of virus issue with my
computer I’ve been unable to get onto blogger. I finally found a
solution to the problem today.
Where do I start?
Frustration…yeah, that’s where I will
start. Riley’s sugars have been out of control for the past month
or so. He’s gone high several times a day, with no obvious rhyme or
reason to it, no pattern, no red- flag-

I haven’t come here to vent in a long time.
Well, today I’m breaking that dry spell.
Let me start off by saying: I. Hate.
Diabetes. With. An. Intense. Passion
Ahh, I feel better already.
Riley’s sugars haven’t been behaving
lately. Well, when do they ever behave? But, for the past couple of
months I’ve been able to whip them into shape pretty quickly when
they did get out of line.
He has started running high quite a bit.
I went from...

I don’t post on a regular basis anymore. My
blog reading has slowed down considerably too. Still, I think about
you guys often and even if I don’t type out an actual post, I’ve
written many a blog post in my head.
Just wanted to update anyone who might be
interested on what’s been going on lately.
● First, the biggest news; Holden got engaged last weekend. He and
his new fiancé, Brittaney, have been dating for almost 4 years now.
They have set...

About three
weeks ago I came across a post by DOC founder Allison Blass. I was
very interested to read it for a couple of reasons. One, it talked
about losing faith in a cure for Type 1 diabetes. And, two, it was
written by Allison. I don’t really know Allison, but I kind of do
in a round about sort of weird internet way. Allison’s blog is one
of the first blogs I started reading when our world came crashing
down about 5 and ½ years... |

We just moved
into a new house. We have been renters our whole married lives and
finally made the leap into being homeowners. I love it. It's so
nice to be able to paint whatever color I want and hang as many
pictures as I want. There is also something special about just
knowing that it's ours.
But, in the midst of all the bliss of finally having our own
home, diabetes keeps poking out its ugly little head.
First, it was during...

for a while
now i've been wanting to experience a real shabbos. from
friday night at sundown to saturday night 1 hour after sundown,
religious jews observe shabbos, or the sabbath, and they refrain
from doing pretty much everything. they can't use any
electricity (though there are some ways around this), write, or
basically do any kind of work. the idea is to use the day as
what it was intended for in the torah (the old testament) -
