Callie J said...
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Still in normal range? :) Glad to hear you're doing well.
Callie is one of my dear friends from living in the Terrace. She married another one of my friends and they just had their first child, a little girl named Maggie! In five years...I plan to still be in range. I know that I have clearly gotten out of range before, but especially with having the CGM I am not scared to adjust my insulin rates on my own now. Before I wouldn't touch them and actually have never changed them without a doctor doing it all until about a month ago. Other than that, I see myself as retired and living on an island! :)

I definitely read your blog. ummmm...a question...lets see. do people every confuse your diabetes with type 2, and does that bother you?
Mandi is my second cousin, I love seeing that family keeps up on each other because I secretly stalk her blog as well! People do confuse my diabetes with type two. Telling me that I should be able to control my diabetes with diet or even that they think that I shouldn't have eaten so much sugar as a child or something. It can get annoying, but I have to remember that they don't know and I probably wouldn't know except the fact that I have it myself.
Natalie Smith said...
I think you have done a great job of living a good life even with the challenges that you have had :)
Natalie is my best friend's sister in law...we had a great time hanging out at her other sister in law's wedding a few months ago and she has the most adorable children and I love reading her blog! Natalie's comments are always so supportive and I appreciate our long distance friendship! :)
Miss Chris said...
So great to read you're doing well. :) It's always nice to hear the doctor say something is "normal".
Chris is one of my new blogging friends. She has a blog that talks about her life with MS...you should all check it out! I agree, Chris, it is always nice to hear that everything is normal, especially when sometimes with things like diabetes, something could be wrong and you don't even know it.

Hi! They said that diabetes is something that you would get from your ancestors. Can I avoid that? Our relatives have diabetes and they said that I'm doomed to that kind of sickness. BUT, I really try my hardest to eat healthy foods, exercising, drinking lots of water. Help!
Jenny-sounds like you might be talking about Type 2 Diabetes...check out this page for more information on risks for diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes

I would like lots and lots of stuff from your personal life. Juicy stuff. Like so juicy you'd need to take insulin after. (see what I did there, I tried to make a diabetic joke). And I loved the last post. I have the impossible love on a plate I made at color me mine in my closet.
KP and I were roommates from 2005-2007 and life long friends...seriously, this girl is amazing! The funny thing is that if I had juicy stuff in my life to tell, she would for sure hear it! Probably the juiciest thing I have to say is that I need to find some new fake crushes! (I'm not interested in any of the guys I know, so I have to come up with "flirting friends" I guess you would call them!
Lisa said...
Uhmmmm why aren't u going to Breaking Dawn tonight?!?! There's gotta b one other twihard out there for u! Calling all crazy twihards!
Lisa is my sister...my oldest sister who has diabetes. I blogged about her already, so you can click here if you want to know more about my relationship with her. She's a little bit of a Twilight nut and doesn't understand why I'm not going to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn. Well, Lisa...I like to sleep when I have to work in the morning and I promised you that I would get someone to go with me this weekend!
Thanks for all your questions and comments!
