Yup, it is me. I am still her...Hi, all of you...... Yup, it is me. I am still here. As usual I will get right to the point. The primary reason why I have stopped blogging is that I write about me. I get personal. I tell you everything and I no longer feel comfortable doing this on a blog where you do not know who is reading it. I cannot write any other way. I wanted and did get true friends. I am not adept at keeping some stuff private, and that I think is necessary on a blog where anybody can read it. You all know how to reach me by email. I think that is a better form for the stuff I write. Secondly I do not think I have that much more to add about how I manage my diabetes. It is the same. Have you thought about that. We all tend to have sort of the same issues now and 3 years ago. I still battle hypos. I don't think it gives much to repeat over and over what works for me. I know that it might be interesting to hear that I have had diabetes for 47 years now and am doing just fine - kidneys working, nerves fine. Yes, I do have eye difficulties, they are my week point. But has you all know I can still drive and read! It is possible to live a long good life with diabetes and I have not had excellent controll during all 47 years of it. For me the pump made a huge difference. The thing is that we are all so different. I have learned that works for me maybe will not work for others. The battle with diabetes is something each and every one of us has to figure out for themselves. Enough about that. <BR/><BR/>It DID make me very happy that you all commented here. That you remembered me. HUG to you guys. And let me say that the delicious apple drink Scott sent me is truly scrumptious. Check out the site and order yourself some - but this product is not sent outside the US. It is so wonderful b/c I never eat/drink sweet stuff, except for a tablespoon of sugared coke for a hypo. Then I am too "out of it to TASTE it. I don't now about you guys, but I have now promised myself to absolutely NEVER drink diet cokes ever, ever again. Why? Because I get addicted to them. I drink more and more and more until I am guzzling 1.5 liters every day. Then I get sores in my mouth that bleed and I feel terribly bloated. That I still want more when it does this to me is amazing. If my mouth bleeds, what is happening inside me. Coke ZERO does this to me. <BR/><BR/>Thank you Scott for telling me about the DOC meeting in October. I cannot come, although it sure would be nice to meet the "old group of friends". <BR/><BR/>So you guys - please send me emails when you feel like chatting with me. Skye is having a hard time, his arthritis is worse..... Look we all get old. He will soon be 13. That is alot for a big dog. For me, the important thing is that he is happy. He is still happy, but we don't take such long walks any more. So he send his woof. Please don't loose contact with me.<BR/><BR/>BTW you know how important reading is for me. Well check out www.goodreads.com if you are interested in finding good books. I am there. I am always checking it out, writing comments on books I have read. I cannot always talk just about diabetes.
