Instead, we're supposed to recite the line that diabetes is controllable, and if they control it, they will be fine, even though solid, replicated, and peer-reviewed data Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-21122264934754675552014-03-21T08:37:02.905-04:002014-03-21T08:37:02.905-04:00I really appreciated that story too.

I am Type 2, and have at various times been able to go without meds, and now I'm on the insulin that you take once a day. On the insulin, my blood sugar runs between 80 and the very occasional 200+. Sometimes the reason for the discrepancy is obvious as in, baklava will do that to you. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason.

You really on know if you live with it or care for someone who does. Nothing frustrates me more than when I give a pretty quick and thorough explanation like the one above and still get a very stupid or insensitive comment like, "Can't you just eliminate carbs from Hannah's diet?"

When I tell people about insulin and eating, I cover a little of the math, and then I tell them I can never expect it to work perfectly from day to day or meal to meal. And... I have to think about these things before every time I put something in my mouth. Thanks... you (obviously) rock too!StephenShttp://happy-medium.netnoreply@blogger.com
