SeveralRO'ers know that over 30 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus at age 21. Three times a day insulin injections. Anna, I hope they find a cure for "you" and the millions of people who have diabetes. Especially for that young baby!

Carry some sweets with you/on you, before you do the walk, okay?My husband,Karl, and I make a point to walk / bike / exercise as much as we can. Yah, insulin reactions can be super scarey. Been there a few times, especially after a longer ride or extendedwalk. ** OJ in the fridge is a must-have.**A quick-acting sugar sourcein the pocket, chocolate in the cupboard helps too!

My husband and daughter can tell you the times they've assisted me out of a reaction when I got too confused to think. I opted not to get the infusion pump, and will "stick" with the daily syringe injections.

You'll be in my thoughts! I'll see what I can do! ~

I LOVE that picture of you and Violet. :hug::sunshine:I dunno if you saw the story/news wireabout the man who had slipped into a Low Blood Sugar, and the bun in the house started thumping. Thumping enough to alert another human -- so he wouldn't go comatose.

 

[LadyBug]

nope, didn't see that. i'll go check it out! hehe, mom carries the med kit. that thing is HUGE! i have the pump and LOVE it! i'd NEVER go back! yup, blood sugar's always VERY interesting on Walk day! just the excitement is enough to make it go wonky! plus the walking, friends(they calm me and that makes me go down some times), ect equals funky blood sugar!

2 DAYS!!! YAY!!



guess when the soccer season starts here in central florida? at 10:30 a.m. and he's playing 'starter' what ever that is(and the walk is at 9:30 am and about an hour from where this game is.). so he can't come:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::grumpy: . oh well, i just needed to get that out and if i say anything around the house it'll set off Em. she's more up set than i am,LOL:?.but lots of other people are going to come, it's just that he's my best friend(actually i have two 'best friends'. do'ya think that's weird?)and i was really happy he'd be able to come.

oh my goodness! ok, so i was board andi did a search on nick jonas. and guess what?!?!?! he's got diabetes!!!!!!!!! i've seriously got tears in my eyes right now. you guys don't know how long i've wished for some 'famous' kid/teen to come out and say that they have diabetes. not that i'd wish it on any one, but do you know how much good Nick can do? i'm not famous, i wouldn't get the same kind of 'wow' factor that he can. and you know what? i think i just might write him, normally i'm not a big 'writing famous people' type person, but this is different. sooo, i'd just like to say, 'whoop whoop:highfive:!' and i really hope he does something with this!
