_kath,

I KNOW!! If they had listened to Dr. Clarkson, it might have just been pre-eclampsia!

I LOVE that part!! But, we shout, "Dog Butt!"

I only like talking about my ring because it belonged to my husband's grandmother, and I love that it has such a long history with his family.

A classmate asked me once for "the details." I added some of what I know about Grandpa and Grandma [Insert awesome, consonant-filled Polish name here]. She then said, "No,…

You are totally right. People in DKA look really sick! I am afraid the prison staff probably did ignore her deterioration. I'm willing to bet this person didn't have great control to begin with. If she had high blood sugar when she was arrested, if it had been a while since she took any insulin (basal or…

Oooh!! Congratulations!! Good luck with everything nursing! You will love it. It is hard and wonderful and frustrating and amazing all at the same time ;-)

I'm a nurse, a T1, a grad student, and an aspiring diabetes educator. I HATE when I read research done in the UK or Canada because I have to convert. And convertin' hurtz mah brainz.

You are right... Probably shouldn't have called him/her a troll. My bad.

Nurse and T1 diabetic here.... It's not that simple. Period.

Folks w/ diabetes can (and should) do everything possible to properly manage their health, but sh!t happens. You have to live your life and be as safe as possible for yourself and everyone else.

That is so funny... I totally just commented on your response to the troll!

Preach it, YuleBrynnerLog.

I've been rocking the T1 for about 30 years myself. No major catastrophes. I had one low BG encounter w/ a cop, and fortunately, he was super cool. I had walked away from the grocery store to a closed bagel shop (with the cart, mind you). I had a cabbage and a big jug of OJ. I wasn't…

What a shitty way to go. I have type 1 diabetes and take insulin through a pump. I have been able to manage my diabetes pretty well. Thanks in large part to a stable home life and really kick-a$$ health insurance.

My blood sugar right now is about 300. I had a problem with my insulin pump (the site got dislodged…

My undergrad classmates and I all made a concerted effort to get rid of Ummm in our speech. If you said Umm, someone would say, "Um is a word whisker." It got really annoying. We all stopped.

I'm in grad school at University of Virginia. I heard a kid on the bus talking about something that sounded incredibly complicated and medical... probably a researcher, not a medical student. He was uptalking? Like, you know, a lot?

I like my boyfriend's date's shoes. I'm open-minded like that.

I've seen a lot of feet. I have never seen feet like that. Is it body snarking to say those are really weird toes?

I may or may not be willing to admit to watching MasterChef Junior. Troy is getting a lot of screen time.

Serious question.... I am a white Southern American. I am in class all day today and want to wear my authentic French blue and white striped sweater, a red kerchief and a beret. "French Person" Racist? Offensive? Yes or no?

I saw "no more resilience" I need spaces between words. Ineedthemalot.

We did the same thing w/ our coworker's kids. Little guy wanted to name the baby Flashlight. I thought that was way better than Mary.
