Gotta admit......you have a positive* mind-set about your situation!

My thing is that my blood-gluclose skyrockets. I'm one of those 'lucky few' that has dawn phenomenon to an extreme. I have to wake up between 3 and 5 AM to give myself an injection to counteract DP.

I test myself between 6 and 10 times a day.

I get up around 3-5 for an injection of regular insulin. I take another injection of 70/30 when I wake up for the day. Take another injection before breakfast. An injection before lunch. Another before dinner. And throughout the day if my blood-gluclose levels rise above 250 (which is very common for me -- for now), then I take another injection of 70/30 about an hour or so after dinner. Then a massive injection of Lantis before bedtime.

Two months ago, I was deathly terrified of needles. I now know why my doctors want to put me on a pump...

This diabetes thing is no fun at all. I hardly have energy anymore. When I do, I make sure my energy is used for exercise (I ride a bike -- part of why I wanted the Axim).

As I said before -- sometimes, life just sucks...

MrKlaatu -- I feel your pain, m'friend... I feel your pain.. at least, my fingertips do!

Getting a phone call from someone I would have rather not heard from. Sometimes things happen on ones life, and you prefer that the person involved would take a hint at the new situation and leave things be. :realmad:

Sounds like you know a few of my ex-girlfriends!

As my best friend of twenty-seven years has told me, "Ex's are an 'Ex' for a reason."

We work in a mall, in lets just say, a not very good part of Portland. She got a call half way through the night from one of her friends who said that her car wasn't where she left it. And we were probably going to go the movies tonight or hang out after work. But that didn't happen, as she has more prevalent matters.

Ouch Sorry to hear that
